Frequently Asked Questions
It’s natural that you’ll have questions about the divorce process. Here are a few that we see often at Schmidlkofer, Toth, Loeb & Drosen, LLC:
How long does a typical divorce take in Milwaukee County?
Wisconsin does mandate a waiting period of 120 days, so the fastest that the divorce can be finalized is roughly four months after the initial filing. The majority of cases will take 6 to 12 months. But there can be significant differences depending on the factors of the divorce. High-conflict divorces that go through litigation, for instance, will typically take longer than amicable divorces that are resolved through mediation.
What should I bring to my first meeting with a family law attorney?
If you have existing documentation, such as a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement, you should bring this to your initial meeting. You’ll also want to have legal identification. Additionally, because property division is so important, it can be helpful to bring financial records, such as bank statements or tax returns.
If you have further questions, we would be happy to answer them at a consultation.
