How Do Marital Property Division Laws Work?

Wisconsin is a marital property state. This means that upon marriage all property is considered marital property and divisible by the court at the time of divorce. In a Wisconsin divorce, spouses typically divide both their assets and debts equally. However, certain factors like prenuptial agreements can affect this division. Prenuptial agreements can outline specific terms for property division, providing clarity and reducing conflict. Our Wisconsin marital property division attorneys will help you understand how these laws apply to your situation and work to ensure a fair asset distribution arrangement, whether you have simple or complex property.

Experience Dividing Wisconsin Real Estate In Divorces

Dividing real estate in a divorce can seem immensely complicated. Common examples of real properties frequently subjected to property division disputes include:

  • The marital home
  • Cabins
  • Rental homes or business properties
  • Vacation properties

There are various options for dividing real estate. One option is to sell the property and divide the proceeds. Another is for one spouse to buy out the other’s share. In some cases, couples may choose to co-own the property temporarily or even post-divorce. Our divorce attorneys will guide you through these options and help you decide what is best for your situation.
