Legal Help with the Decisions Involved in Divorce and Separation

Milwaukee Divorce Lawyer

Some divorcing spouses are able to reach agreement on issues of property division, child custody, and support on their own. They simply need an attorney to draft their agreement and guide them through the court process. But for the vast majority of people, divorce is not so easy.

The most contentious issues are always child custody, maintenance/alimony, and property division. Even in situations where a parent has not had a close relationship with a child, that parent may fear losing connection altogether and will fight to ensure continued access. Long term marriages and disparate earnings of the parties can result in questions of maintenance/alimony - how much and how long are common areas of concern. Property division can become very complex when multiple properties, pension plans, or a family business is added to the mix.

Property Settlement Agreements

Wisconsin is a marital property state. The first essential step in arriving at a fair and equitable distribution of marital assets is to get a proper valuation of all property. This can be quite complex when it includes pension rights, multiple properties, small and not so small businesses. Tax issues must also be considered.

At Previant, Goldberg, Uelmen, Gratz, Miller & Brueggeman, S.C., we bring expert resources into the case to help us determine the proper value of complex assets. With that information in hand, the divorcing couple can make decisions in mediation or in court, to ensure a proper distribution of assets and any spousal support that may be given.
