Free consultation about your divorce and legal separation concerns
In Wisconsin, the main difference between divorce and legal separation is that divorce ends the marriage (and the respective rights as husband and wife) and legal separation does not. Other issues — property division, child custody, child support, spousal maintenance/alimony, etc. — are decided just as they would be decided in divorce.
Is Legal Separation Right for Me?
Our family lawyers usually do not promote legal separation. We find that most clients who file for a legal separation eventually convert their separation into divorce — ultimately costing them more money and emotional turmoil. However, we recognize that every situation is unique and that there are situations where legal separation may be the appropriate option for our client.
Legal separation is often used as an alternative to divorce when:
- Religious beliefs or personal convictions deter the couple from divorce
- One spouse cannot obtain health care benefits due to chronic or terminal medical conditions, except as a dependant on the other spouse's policy
