WHAT IS PRO SE OF WISCONSIN, LLC? Pro Se of Wisconsin, LCC, provides divorce and mediation services to couples throughout the entire state of Wisconsin who are interested in obtaining a divorce without retaining attorneys. We provide couples with the opportunity to work together, promoting a "win-win" situation, and thereby avoiding the traditional adversarial "win-lose" legal system. Our main emphasis is to provide couples who wish to divorce with the option of going through the process in an amicable and fair manner. Pro Se of Wisconsin, LLC, offers personal, caring and confidential support through the entire divorce process. |
|
Pro Se, pronounced "Pro-Say," is a Latin term meaning "for self" or "in one’s own behalf." Because Wisconsin is a No-fault Divorce State, people can legally represent themselves in their own divorce because it is no longer necessary to prove that one party in the marriage did something to destroy the marriage. The only ground for divorce in Wisconsin is that the marriage is "irretrievably broken."
WHO CAN USE THE SERVICES OF PRO SE OF WISCONSIN, LLC?
Anyone who meets the residency requirements of Wisconsin is eligible. Only one of the divorcing parties needs to have resided in the state of Wisconsin for six months and a Wisconsin County for thirty days. If either one of you meets the Wisconsin residency requirements, you can use the services provided by Pro Se of Wisconsin, LLC. It is a service for people with or without children, with or without assets, with or without debts, with or without homes, with or without retirement plans, etc. It is a service which is available to people from all walks of life and all income levels.
IS IT HARD TO DO?
Pro Se of Wisconsin, LLC, makes a Pro Se divorce a simple and effective option for obtaining a divorce. There are no meetings, so there is no loss of work time. All correspondence is done over the phone, with a fax machine, a computer and through the mail. You will receive PERSONAL, STEP BY STEP instructions from the same person through the entire divorce process.
WHAT IS INVOLVED?
The process takes a minimum of 120 days. This is the mandatory waiting period in the State of Wisconsin. The Pro Se Director takes you through the entire process in easy to follow steps:
- The first step in the process is known as "Filing" the Divorce action. There are two methods in which a divorce can be filed for in the State of Wisconsin. The first method involves filing a Joint Petition for Divorce. With this method, both parties must sign the Joint Petition for Divorce. The second method involves filing a Summons and Petition for Divorce. This method is used when only one party is seeking the divorce. With this method, only the person filing the divorce action signs the Summons and Petition for Divorce and then both parties are served by a Sheriff or Process Server. Pro Se of Wisconsin, LLC, provides the paperwork for both methods of "Filing."
- The second step in the process is to prepare Financial Disclosure forms. Each party is required by law to complete a Financial Disclosure Form for the court. These forms will tell the court about the parties' financial situations of incomes, expenses, assets and debts.
- The third step in the process is the development of the Marital Settlement Agreement. This is the agreement between the parties which deals with all of the issues involved in the divorce. These may include child custody and placement, child support, maintenance payments, division of assets (including retirement accounts) and division of debts. The Director will work with both of the parties until they are completely satisfied with the Agreement. Both parties will maintain complete control of their agreement and the outcome of their divorce. Along with the Agreement, the Director will also provide Qualified Domestic Relations Orders which are needed to divide Retirement accounts, as well as Quit Claim Deeds and Wisconsin Real Estate transfer Returns to re-title properties.
- The fourth step in the process is to obtain a court date. This is done when all of the above paperwork is completed.
- The fifth step in the process is the completion of the final paperwork needed for the hearing, and preparation for the court hearing. The Director will go through everything that you will need to do and say at the hearing, so you will be completely prepared for it.
- The final step is attending the court hearing. You will be divorced on that day. The only waiting period after your divorce is finalized is that Wisconsin law will not allow either party to remarry for six months after the final hearing date.
No! One of the best reasons to do your divorce through Pro Se of Wisconsin, LLC, is the low cost. On average, attorney fees for a divorce can run anywhere from $2,000 to $10,000 per person, depending on the unresolved issues of the case. Pro Se of Wisconsin, LLC, has flat fees which run from $398 to $789 per couple for a complete divorce.
