WISCONSIN Part 9

What if my spouse leaves me for someone else or is living with someone else?


Because Wisconsin is a no-fault state, a spouse's infidelity has no bearing on how the court deals with the couple's property and finances. The court cannot consider this fact in dividing property, awarding maintenance, setting support, or other financial matters. Infidelity can be considered in determining child custody and placement, however, if this significant other has a negative or harmful impact on the minor children.
