Legal Question in Family Law in Wisconsin

Re: is an amicable but unequal settlement possible?

Assuming they are divorced, then neither has alimony rights after 3 years. They can settle the community anyway they want as long as it's close to 50-50.

Re: is an amicable but unequal settlement possible?

If the parties are to be divorced in Wisconsin, Wis. Stat. 767.127 states:

"In an action affecting the family . . . the court shall require each party to

furnish, on standard forms required by the court, full disclosure of all assets owned in full or in part by either party separately or by the parties jointly.

The court shall also require each party to furnish, on the same standard

form, information pertaining to all debts and liabilities of the parties. The form used shall contain a statement in conspicuous print that complete disclosure of assets and debts is required by law and deliberate failure to provide complete disclosure constitutes perjury.

The court shall require each party to attach to the disclosure form a statement reflecting income earned to date for the current year . . ."

So long as the parties have made the required disclosures and neither is acting under duress, the parties are free to reach any settlement they both deem to fair and reasonable to both of them.
