Choosing a family lawyer in Madison
Wisconsin is a no-fault divorce state: the only ground is that the marriage is "irretrievably broken." To file, one spouse generally must have lived in Wisconsin for six months and in the county for 30 days, and a divorce can't be finalized until 120 days after the other spouse is served.
Read the rest of the guide
Many family lawyers offer a free or low-cost first consultation. Bring a short timeline, a list of assets and debts, and your questions about custody and placement. Ask how they bill, what a typical retainer looks like, and whether they recommend mediation for your situation.
Fit matters. You'll share a lot with this person during a hard time, so choose someone who explains things clearly and responds when you call.
