1.                  What do we need to get a divorce?

Wisconsin is a no-fault divorce state, which means one spouse doesn't have to prove infidelity, desertion, or some other significant failing by the other spouse to get a divorce. If one or both parties have decided the marriage is no longer working, they can get a divorce. Here, we provide some answers to frequently asked questions about how the divorce process works in Wisconsin, including how finances and child custody are sorted out while the divorce is pending. To learn more about divorce generally, see our articles on the Divorce Process; for more information on Wisconsin divorce law, see our Wisconsin Divorce and Family Law page.
