Marital Property in the State of Wisconsin

Although Wisconsin is a marital property state, when it comes to the division of marital assets in a divorce, Wisconsin is considered a community property state; meaning, the court will divide any property or debts acquired over the course of a marriage equally.  However, the court will also consider a number of factors, including the following:

• Length of a marriage
• Property brought into a marriage by each individual
• Earning potential of individuals
• Contributions of each spouse to a marriage
• Assets exempt from communal property
• Tax consequences for each spouse
