It is not. In Wisconsin gifted and inherited property is not included as divisible marital property.
I filed an OFP against my husband for my preteen daughter. This was denied by the courts due to lack of evidence. But the judge told me to get it added in the divorce. I need this for myself and my three children as my husband refuses to leave us alone. All three children are from a previous... View More

It is possible to obtain a sort of "no contact" order in the divorce, but it is somewhat different than a restraining order. I recommend that you speak with a divorce lawyer to ensure the statements added to your divorce judgment accomplish what you wish.

You can request the information through the formal discovery process, which is written questions and requests for documents that your wife must answer and provide. You may also request that the judge order her to provide them to you if you have a conference in the near future.
The mother and I are on good terms and have not reviewed or modified the CS order since 2011. We split everything.

Child support will not automatically increase if you get a new job with higher pay. There would be a higher chance of that child support amount increasing if mother decides she wants to go through with a review of the child support or if she files a motion stating she would like to have that...

Under Wisconsin law, if one of the parties is pregnant during the divorce, the divorce cannot be finalized until the child is born.
My main question is if living with my girlfriend in her marital home can effect the financial outcome when the final decree is ordered by the judge?

I don't believe this would make much of a difference in the final judgment of divorce. The only potential ways it could make any sort of difference might be with regard to child support payments or maintenance payments. Other than that, it really shouldn't make much of a difference that... View More

It depends on if this agreement on placement was part of the initial divorce proceeding. In other words, if you incorporated this agreement in writing as part of the divorce proceedings and the court accepted this, then it is a court order and he is obliged to follow it. However, if for some reason... View More

It is very, very rare to go all the way to trial in a divorce case. If you are at this step, basically it means you and your spouse will appear before a judge, there is no jury. What this means is the judge will decide what happens with all unresolved marital property based on evidence and witness... View More

You should get a temporary order in the divorce. The temporary order tells the parties what the rules will be during the divorce process. You can get a temporary order either through a hearing where you argue about one or more issues or through a stipulation document if you are able to reach a... View More
