Comprehensive Wisconsin Divorce Representation

Wisconsin is a no-fault divorce state governed by strict statutory rules, including a mandatory 120-day waiting period. Dividing marital property under equal division rules can be complex when homes, pensions, and debts are involved. As experienced divorce lawyers, the attorneys at Divergent Family Law ensure marital assets and liabilities are accurately valued and divided.

• Contested and uncontested divorce proceedings tailored to your needs.
• Equitable distribution of real estate, retirement accounts, and personal property.
• Establishing or adjusting spousal maintenance and alimony payments.
• Drafting enforceable prenuptial agreements and postnuptial contracts.
• Handling paternity actions to protect parental and visitation rights.
• Guiding couples through cooperative mediation to resolve conflicts amicably.

Child Custody, Placement, and Child Support

Nothing matters more than protecting your children. Under Wisconsin law, courts distinguish between legal custody (decision-making authority) and physical placement (where children reside). While Wisconsin courts favor joint legal custody, disputes over school placement and daily schedules frequently arise. As skilled child custody lawyers and child support lawyers, the team at Divergent Family Law works to create workable parenting plans that protect your bond with your children, while calculating accurate child support under state guidelines.

Transparent Flat Fees and Flexible Payment Plans

Legal fees should not bring unexpected financial surprises. Divergent Family Law utilizes a transparent flat-fee billing model rather than open-ended hourly retainers. During your initial assessment, your attorney provides a straightforward flat fee quote for your case. The firm also offers structured payment plans to ensure families throughout Racine have access to skilled legal representation.
