Grounds for Divorce:
Stipulated Divorce: where spouses agree on the terms of the divorce, such as property
division, child support, custody, maintenance, etc., where there are no issues left in
dispute or unresolved.
Contested Divorce: where spouses don’t agree on all issues involved in the divorce and
there are issues of dispute that are deadlocked and the parties are unable to agree.
When this occurs, the parties have a trial and the judge rules on the issues left
unresolved.
Default Divorce: where the non-filing party, or one party, doesn’t agree to a stipulated
divorce and doesn’t participate in the divorce proceedings. The court will simply
default the non-participating party and the remaining spouse gets whatever was asked
for in the original paperwork.
A.
The only grounds for divorce in Wisconsin are an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage.
Divorce can be completed different ways:
1.
2.
3.
B.
Divorce Procedure:
1.
To start, one spouse must file a Summons and Petition for Divorce (these documents
are called pleading documents).
a.
The party filing the action is called the Petitioner.
b.
The non-filing party is called the Respondent.
2.
The divorce pleading documents then must be served on your spouse, the respondent.
3.
The respondent may file a Response and Counter-Claim.
4.
A divorce Temporary Hearing is then set up through the Family Court to establish
Temporary Orders, which set out the ground rules during the divorce procedure.
5.
A few months later a Scheduling Conference/Pre-Trial is held in order to set a
time-line for obtaining information (a.k.a. Discovery) and establishing a date for the
divorce trial, if necessary.
6.
If the divorce discovery period passes and there are still issues in dispute and
unresolved, a divorce trial will be held.
7.
If the issues can be resolved and a settlement reached prior to the date of the divorce
trial, a stipulated entry of divorce will be entered.
Our online evaluation of your case will provide information about your divorce case, but we
do not and cannot represent divorce clients online, establish attorney-client relationships
online or give legal advice online. We do not become your divorce attorneys just by doing
an online evaluation.

certain amount of consistency; we like to know what to expect or the ability to predict what will happen
in a day, week, month, etc. However, things that change our life, whether good or bad, cause us all a
certain amount of stress, or distress when negative. How we are able to cope with stress and the
intensity of the stress affects how were react to stress. When marital problems begin to boil over and
when they become too much to handle or face, we begin to re-evaluate our place in that relationship
