Representation in Dane County Divorce Cases

Situations where couples choose to legally terminate their marriages and get a divorce are often complex and emotionally charged. Understanding the best approach to take during a divorce is not always easy, but with an experienced lawyer on your side, you can take steps to protect your rights and interests. If you and your spouse are willing and able to cooperate with each other, we can help you negotiate a settlement and complete an uncontested divorce. However, if there are conflicts that cannot be resolved through negotiation, we will provide strong, effective representation during a contested divorce, advocating for an outcome that will allow you to move forward successfully.

We can help you address all legal issues related to the dissolution of your marriage, including those related to your finances and income. We can assist with property division, ensuring that you will receive a fair and equitable share of the marital estate. We can also help you determine how debt division should be handled and whether spousal support will be appropriate. After your case has been finalized, we can help you determine how to handle requests for divorce modifications.
