Understanding Divorce And Legal Separation

Divorce is the legal termination of a marriage. Also known as a dissolution of marriage in Wisconsin, it involves dividing assets and debts, determining spousal support (alimony), and establishing arrangements for child custody and child support, if applicable.

Legal separation, on the other hand, is a court order that allows you and your spouse to live apart while remaining legally married. It can be a good option for couples who are unsure about divorce or who have religious or other reasons for not wanting to end the marriage. We can help you understand the pros and cons of both divorce and legal separation and determine which path is right for you.

Filing For Divorce In Waukesha County

The process of filing for divorce in Waukesha County involves several steps, including:

• Filing a petition: The first step is to file a petition for divorce with the Waukesha County Circuit Court
• Serving your spouse: Your spouse must be formally served with the divorce papers
• Financial disclosure: Both parties are required to disclose their financial information
• Negotiation and mediation: We will work to negotiate a settlement with your spouse’s attorney, and mediation may be required
• Trial (if necessary): If a settlement cannot be reached, we will aggressively advocate for your rights in court

We understand this process can seem overwhelming. That’s why we strive to create a comforting, boutique-style atmosphere where you feel comfortable discussing your concerns. Unlike larger, more intimidating firms, we offer a personalized approach, ensuring you feel supported and informed throughout your case.
