Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Wisconsin

I am not aware of the penalties for pulling a credit report on one's spouse and an not even certain that it is illegal if it is done properly and without any sort of deception. She is indeed wise to be concerned and should definitely look for these answers as she is presumed liable for his debts under the marital property law (until a divorce of formal legal separation lawsuit is concluded). In a family court action, parties are ordered to disclose financial information and are potentially subject to contempt of court penalties for failing to provide it. I would therefore recommend that she immediately see both a family law attorney and, if the debts are major, a bankruptcy lawyer. IF there is a chronic inability to agree on financial matters, a divorce or legal separation may be the only way to resolve the issue.

However, I may be able to formally represent you if you contact my Racine office and make arrangements to retain me. I also represent clients throughout WI.
