Family Law

Divorce
Find out how our custody & placement attorneys can assist you. In the context of divorce law, “nesting” is the term used to describe an arrangement where the children stay in the [...]
Child Support
Orders relating to child placement, child support, and maintenance are often in place for many years. Sometimes, circumstances change, and one party wants to modify the terms of the court order. This is done by filing a motion in the court that issued the original order.
Child Custody and Visitation
Child custody and placement are some of the most contentious issues in a divorce proceeding. It is important to remember that there are two separate rights respecting children.
Paternity
Wisconsin courts routinely enter orders requiring a parent of a child to contribute financially to the child’s expenses when the child’s parents do not live together. This can be done in the context of different types of court proceedings, including divorces, legal separations, annulments and paternity actions.
Spousal Support
As part of the divorce judgment, a court may order maintenance payments (formerly known as alimony) to either party for a limited or indefinite period of time after considering factors such as the length of the marriage; the age and physical and emotional health of the parties; the division of property made in connection with the divorce; the educational level of each party at the time of the marriage and at the time of the divorce; the earning capacity of the party seeking maintenance, including the party’s educational and employment background, length of absence from the job market, and child-rearing responsibilities during the marriage; and the contribution of one party to the education, training, and earning power of the other party.
Legal Separation
In order to file for divorce in Wisconsin, one party — either you or your spouse — must (1) reside in the county in which the action is being filed for thirty days; and (2) reside in Wisconsin for at least six months. You can, however, file for Legal Separation after residing in Wisconsin for only 30 days. The legal separation can later be changed to a divorce. Your lawyer can advise you as to your filing options.
Annulment
If the parties were married, the standard of living the child would have enjoyed had the marriage not ended in annulment, divorce, or legal separation.
Child Abuse
The parties will not be able to cooperate in future decision-making involved in joint legal custody. Evidence of child abuse, interspousal battery, or domestic abuse raises a rebuttable presumption that the parties will not be able to cooperate in future decision-making.

More than half of those are children. Severe injuries from dog bites is highest for children ages 5 to 9 years. Children 4 and under are most commonly bitten in the face and neck area. Older children and adults tend to suffer bites of the hands, arms and legs. Most of the biting dogs belong to the victim’s family, friends or neighbors.

Wills
Trusts
A trust is legal device used to hold and manage money and property. The person who creates a trust is called the settlor or the grantor. Your loved one may have set up a revocable living trust or an irrevocable trust which requires administration after their death. Or, the decedent may have set up a testamentary trust in their will. A trust can provide for distributions upon the settlor’s death, or, for example, when beneficiaries reach a certain age. Special provisions can be included for a beneficiary who has disabilities. Each trust is unique, but they all have one thing in common: assets held in a trust do not have to go through probate. Instead, most trusts are administered without the involvement of the court. If you have been named the trustee of your loved one’s trust, we can help guide you through the trust administration process.
