WISCONSIN Part 39

Support for yourself: In Wisconsin, spousal support is referred to as maintenance. If you are getting separated or divorced, the court can award you temporary or permanent maintenance. In deciding whether to award you maintenance, a judge will look at many factors. A few of the things a judge will look at are:

The length of the marriage.

The age and physical and emotional health of the parties.

The educational level of each party at the time of marriage and at the time the action is commenced.

The earning capacity of the party seeking maintenance.

The contribution by one party to the education, training or increased earning power of the other.***
