What is an Amicable Divorce?

The term “amicable divorce” commonly refers to a divorce in which both spouses begin the process with an understanding that they will work together to resolve their issues reasonably and equitably. For example, if children are involved, there is commonly an agreement to put the kids’ needs first. Although every divorce will deal with some disagreements, the difference is that an amicable couple can work together to find solutions calmly. 

What are the critical issues in an Amicable Divorce?

In Wisconsin, all of your income, assets, debts, and liabilities must be fully disclosed to be granted a judgment of divorce. For the court to approve a settlement, it must address the following:

• The amount and duration of spousal support, also known as “maintenance” or “alimony.”
• The division of all marital and non-marital assets, including but not limited to personal property, household items, automobiles, life insurance, business interests, retirement accounts, and deposit accounts.
• The division of interests in real estate.
• The reallocation of responsibility for payment of marital debts and liabilities.
• If you have minor children, the legal custody rights of the parents; the allocation of physical placement; the amount of child support; and the allocation of responsibility for health insurance coverage and the payment of uninsured medical/dental expenses.
