Where can I find additional information about divorce?

We hope the following links to outside sources may provide helpful information.

State Bar of Wisconsin provides answers to many common questions about divorce, including questions about grounds for divorce, residency requirements, and maintenance.

Wisconsin Court System also has a number of divorce resources, including:

  • court forms that you may need if you wish to get a divorce; and
  • the family law forms assistant, an automated program you can use to fill out and generate forms related to divorce and separation.

WomensLaw.org is unrelated to the above organizations and cannot vouch for the accuracy of their sites. We provide these links for your information only.

You will find more information about divorce, including the risks of taking your children out of state while a divorce is pending, on our general Divorce page. To watch brief videos about divorce in Spanish with English sub-titles, go to our Videos page. Lastly, learn more about the court process on our Preparing for Court – By Yourself page.
