Wisconsin Divorce.

 Wisconsin divorce. To be able to file for divorce in Wisconsin you must at least in there in the state for 6 months in order to file for divorce.  You must also live in the county you file in for at least 3months before getting a divorce, so living in the state 6 months and county 3 months then allows you to file for divorce in Wisconsin. The only reason for a divorce in Wisconsin is irretrievable breakdown, which are also irreconcilable differences, means the spouses do not get along or what to be in the marriage anymore, there is no reason to continue the marriage.  You can show the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage was caused by certain things in the marriage, here is to list a few, but most times on your divorce papers it will just show irretrievable.
  1. The irretrievable breakdown for divorce may be shown by a petition that both of the spouses did request a divorce and no longer want to be marriage.
  2. The irretrievable breakdown for divorce may be shown by, the spouses not living together, for at least 12 months, meaning no longer in the same household, this will be before the divorce is filed.
  3. The irretrievable breakdown for divorce may be shown, if the couples are not in agreement with the divorce, meaning one wants the divorce the other doesn’t, the courts will show that the marriage is in a breakdown with no possible chance.  Although we do stress to people, if one is ready for the divorce and the other is not, that counseling can help the process for both couples, especially if there are children involved, it can help children know it is not their fault, along with helping couples move on.
 The legal divorce process in Wisconsin starts when one spouse files for divorce and then the other spouse is served, in some cases we have seen both couples have filed, that refers back to your #1 in the list as for the breakdown of the marriage.  The other spouse is then served and given a reasonable amount of time to respond to the divorce papers and then the divorce process to begin.  If both the spouses are in agreement over debt division, property division, child custody and child support, then the divorce can be finalized without a trial.  If there is any disagreement on any of these then a trial date will be set for the divorce, to figure out all of these matters.  In the meantime you can request temporary child support, child custody and debts to be paid between the spouses until after the divorce has gone to trial.
