A WISCONSIN DIVORCE

 Because Wisconsin is a no fault state, neither party has to prove that the other has done anything wrong, only that one of the parties believe that the marriage is irretrievably broken.  In order to file for a divorce in Wisconsin, one of the parties must have lived in the state of Wisconsin for six months prior to the filing of this action, and be a resident of the county, in which the petition is filed, for thirty days just prior to the filing of this action. A divorce takes a minimum of 120 days from the day you file your petition or the summons is served. If you are filing for a divorce and you have children, you will be required to take a parent educational program on the effects of divorce on children before completing your divorce.
