About Us

Navigating divorce can feel overwhelming—especially when you’re faced with unfamiliar legal terms, emotional stress, and life-changing decisions. Our mission is simple: to make Wisconsin divorce law clear, accessible, and understandable for everyone.

We provide in-depth, plain-language information about divorce in Wisconsin, covering everything from filing requirements and waiting periods to child custody, property division, taxes, and specialized situations such as military, LGBTQ, and high-net-worth divorces. Whether you’re just starting to explore your options or are already deep in the legal process, our goal is to help you feel informed and confident every step of the way.

Built for Wisconsin Residents

Divorce laws vary widely from state to state. Wisconsin’s community property rules, mandatory 120-day waiting period, and no-fault divorce system create a legal framework that can be confusing without clear guidance. Our content is written specifically for Wisconsin residents and reflects how divorce actually works in Wisconsin courts—not generic advice meant to apply everywhere.

We focus on real-world questions people ask, such as:

  • How do I file for divorce in Wisconsin?
  • What happens to my house, retirement, or business?
  • How is child custody and placement decided?
  • Are divorce records public?
  • What should I expect during the legal process?

Clear Information, Not Legal Pressure

We are an educational resource—not a law firm—and we do not replace legal advice from a licensed attorney. Instead, we help you understand the process before you meet with a lawyer, mediator, or court official. Knowing what to expect can reduce anxiety, save time, and help you ask better questions when professional guidance is needed.

Our content is designed to:

  • Explain complex legal concepts in plain English
  • Highlight common mistakes and misunderstandings
  • Provide accurate, up-to-date information based on Wisconsin law
  • Help readers prepare for conversations with attorneys or court staff

Inclusive and Comprehensive

Families come in many forms, and divorce is never one-size-fits-all. We are committed to inclusive, respectful coverage of:

  • LGBTQ divorces and parentage issues
  • Military divorces involving federal protections
  • High-asset and business-owner divorces
  • Long-term marriages and “gray divorce”
  • Parents navigating custody, placement, and support

Our approach recognizes that legal rules intersect with real lives, finances, and children—and that every family deserves clear, unbiased information.

Our Commitment

We believe knowledge is power, especially during one of life’s most challenging transitions. By breaking down Wisconsin divorce law into understandable, practical guidance, we aim to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

No matter where you are in the process, you’re not alone. Understanding your rights and responsibilities is the first step toward a more secure future—and we’re here to help you take that step.
