Wisconsin Filing Requirements

You or your spouse must meet the Wisconsin residency requirements for the Circuit Court to have jurisdiction of your case. The requirements before filing your Petition for Divorce (the document that initiates your divorce) are as follows:

One of the spouses must a be a resident of the state of Wisconsin for at least 6 months and a resident of the county in which they file for at least 30 days immediately prior to filing for the divorce.

In order to use this service, you and your spouse must agree (or eventually agree) on getting the divorce. Your spouse's participation is minimal, being he or she will only have to sign a few documents and return them to you for filing with the court.

Wisconsin Grounds for Divorce

The most common "uncontested" grounds for divorce in Wisconsin are:

1. Irretrievable breakdown of the marriage.

2. If both of the parties by petition or otherwise have stated under oath or affirmation that the marriage is irretrievably broken, or if the parties have voluntarily lived apart continuously for 12 months or more immediately prior to commencement of the action and one party has so stated, the court, after hearing, shall make a finding that the marriage is irretrievably broken.

3. If the parties have not voluntarily lived apart for at least 12 months immediately prior to commencement of the action and if only one party has stated under oath or affirmation that the marriage is irretrievably broken, the court shall consider all relevant factors, including the circumstances that gave rise to filing the petition and the prospect of reconciliation.
