Services
Contested Divorce
When spouses cannot agree on divorce terms, our experienced litigators provide aggressive courtroom representation. We handle complex asset division, custody battles, and spousal support disputes while maintaining clear communication throughout the process. Our attorneys methodically prepare for hearings and trials to protect clients' interests in high-conflict cases.
Child Custody
We advocate for clients in legal custody and physical placement determinations. Our attorneys explain Wisconsin's best-interest standards while developing custody arrangements that address each family's unique needs. We handle modifications, enforcement actions, and grandparent visitation rights with compassionate yet effective representation.
Mediation Services
Our neutral mediators facilitate cooperative divorce resolutions through structured negotiations. This cost-effective approach helps couples create mutually beneficial agreements regarding property division, child support, and custody arrangements while maintaining control over the outcome rather than leaving decisions to a judge.
Property Division
We handle equitable division of marital assets and debts during divorce proceedings. Our attorneys identify separate property, value complex assets like businesses and real estate, and negotiate fair distribution agreements. We represent clients in disputes involving hidden assets or valuation disagreements.
Alimony Negotiation
Our team assists clients with temporary and permanent maintenance determinations. We analyze Wisconsin's 13-factor framework to establish appropriate support amounts while considering tax implications and long-term financial impacts on both parties' post-divorce lives.
