Recent Q&As in Wisconsin (Divorce)

[WI] No temporary order was entered for 6 months while I overpaid in bills. Is this normal? | Aug 8, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
Location: Wisconsin I am in the middle of a divorce in Wisconsin. My case was filed 6 months ago, but no temporary court order was ever entered at the beginning. Since separation, I (high earner) have voluntarily paid over $35,000 directly for my spouse's mortgage, utilities, car loan, insurance, and personal expenses to keep the household afloat. My attorney recently sent me a draft Temporary Stipulation received from opposing counsel for me to sign. When I audited the draft against my actual paystubs and bank records, I realized my attorney has left me severely exposed: 1. No Credit for $35k+ Voluntary Overpayments: Under Wisconsin law (Wis. Stat. § 767.59(1r)), voluntary payments made without a court order receive zero automatic credit after the fact. My attorney included no language recognizing or crediting the $35k+ I already paid. 2. Blank Commencement Date / Arrears Trap: The draft leaves the support start date blank. If backdated to the filing date, cash support creates $20,000+ in back support arrears, meaning I could be forced to pay support twice (once in direct bills paid, once in cash arrears). 3. Uncapped Liabilities & Over-Commitment: The draft obligates me to pay scheduled mortgage, child support, spousal support, car loans, health premiums, PLUS uncapped utilities, repairs, and blanket auto insurance. In total, it commits over 50% of my net take-home pay, leaving me with barely enough for my own rent. 4. Bonus Double-Dipping: The draft splits future bonuses 50/50 without excluding an annual bonus I already received before…
Confused - joint divorce WI | Jul 27, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
Location: Wisconsin My soon to be ex husband and I chose to do this jointly because we couldn’t afford attorneys. I’m trying to fill out the marital settlement agreement. In our marriage, the only thing we had jointly in both names were our home and one loan. Everything else was in our individual names. Do we have to add all of our individual accounts on the marital settlement agreement? We both agree to keep our separate finances separate. Regardless, do they have to be on there or do I only put them on the financial affidavit? Thank you so much I’m just confused.
