Divorce Attorney In Madison, Wisconsin 

It’s important to know that Wisconsin is a “no fault” divorce state. That means that the court does not require either party to prove any specific wrongdoing or reason for divorce. Instead, it is enough that whoever brings says that the marriage is irretrievably broken. While this simplifies the process, there are still a few different paths a divorce can take, especially in the difference between a contested and an uncontested divorce.

In an uncontested divorce, both spouses are able to reach an agreement on how to handle all the key issues, such as the division of property, child custody, and any maintenance arrangements. Because they collaborate to find common ground, these types of cases tend to resolve more quickly, and usually resolve with less overall stress and expense for everyone involved. 

A contested divorce happens when the parties disagree on one or more of these important matters. Resolving those disagreements can take more time, and often requires negotiation, multiple legal filings, and, in some cases, court hearings. An uncontested divorce can therefore take longer to resolve.
