Family court law refers to the legal rules and regulations that govern family-related matters such as divorce, child custody, visitation rights, alimony, and property division.
Divorce is a legal process that terminates a marriage or marital union, dissolving the legal duties and responsibilities of marriage between the spouses.
To file for divorce in Wisconsin, one must complete and submit a summons and petition for divorce form to the appropriate county court. The petitioner must also pay a filing fee and serve the papers to the spouse.
To file for divorce in Wisconsin, either you or your spouse must have resided in the state for at least six months prior to filing.
When determining child custody in Wisconsin, the court considers the best interests of the child. Factors such as the child's wishes, primary caregiver, mental and physical health of parents, and the child's adjustment to home, school, and community are taken into account.
Alimony, also known as spousal support, is a court-ordered payment made by one spouse to the other after a divorce to provide financial support and assistance.
In Wisconsin, property division is based on a principle of equitable distribution, meaning that the court aims to divide marital assets and debts fairly, though not necessarily equally, between the spouses.
Yes, you have the right to represent yourself in family court, but it is recommended to seek legal counsel to ensure your rights are protected and to navigate the complexities of the legal process.
The length of time to finalize a divorce in Wisconsin varies depending on the complexity of the issues, court schedules, and the ability of the spouses to reach agreements. It can take several months to over a year to complete the process.
If your ex-spouse violates the court-ordered custody or support agreement, you can file a motion for enforcement with the court. The court may take appropriate action, such as arranging a hearing or modifying the existing orders.
