Frequently Asked Questions
What are the residency requirements for divorce in Wauwatosa Wisconsin?
To file for divorce in Wisconsin, you or your spouse must have lived in the state for at least six months before filing. You must also file in the county where either spouse has resided for at least 90 days. Wauwatosa cases are filed in Milwaukee County Family Court.
How is property divided in a Wisconsin divorce?
Wisconsin is a community property state, meaning marital property is divided equally unless a court finds that an unequal split is fair. Marital property includes assets and debts acquired during the marriage. Separate property, such as gifts or inheritances given to one spouse, is not divided.
