Divorce In Wisconsin

In Wisconsin, in order for a couple to divorce, they must file for a divorce in the state of Wisconsin with a Court that has jurisdiction to hear the matter.

Residency Requirements

Wisconsin Divorce For Nonresidents

If you are seeking a divorce from a person who is not now a resident of Wisconsin, the Court may still have jurisdiction.
