Trying to resolve child custody, child support or divide your property with a parent who has significant mental health or alcohol and drug problems or a spouse who refuses to communicate or cooperate complicates a divorce and the formal structure of divorce litigation Wisconsin is the most appropriate process to get the issues resolved.   

In litigation you and your spouse are deciding to let the Judge control the timing of your divorce as well as the decisions about your finances and children if the two of you are not able to reach an agreement before the trial date.  It is important to understand that the Judge does not help you collect the information you need to present your case or educate you about what you can and cannot do in presenting your side to the judge.
