Description

How do Wisconsin courts divide property in a divorce? In this Wisconsin Family Law Insider episode, Sterling Lawyers CEO and Co-Founder Jeff Hughes sits down with our Managing Partner, Holly Mullin, to explain Wisconsin's approach to property division. As one of only 9-10 states with "marital property" laws, Wisconsin starts with a unique presumption that can surprise many people. 

We explore:

• Wisconsin's default "equal division" standard, and when judges might deviate from it
• The critical exceptions for gifts and inheritances (and how easily these protections can be lost)
• Why the length of your marriage matters in property division decisions
• The financial disclosure requirements that create transparency between parties

Listen in for a clear explanation of Wisconsin's property division framework, including practical insights on how courts handle everything from premarital assets to non-financial contributions when dividing marital property.
