Pro Se is a Latin phrase meaning "for one's self" or "on one's own behalf." In law, pro se describes someone involved in a legal action who chooses not to be represented by an attorney. If you decide to proceed without counsel, you will be expected to follow the same rules and procedures that lawyers must follow. You will also be expected to know the laws of your case. Court staff and judges cannot and will not provide legal advice.

In Wisconsin, it is easier than ever to divorce without an attorney. However, despite all the self-help programs out there and all the free information and guidance currently available, it still takes the average person much longer to get through the process. And if by chance, you make a mistake along the way, you will never get back time lost with your children, or financial support you may have been paid, or property you once owned. Can you really afford to handle something as important as your divorce completely alone? If you are even a little bit hesitant, please call us right now.

We are divorce done right, offering assistance and straight answers to pro se parties unable to find the legal assistance they need at a reasonable cost. With Divorce PRO, help is only a click or a call away.

Divorce mediation is a means of alternative dispute resolution involving a third-party professional, who helps couples reach agreement on all aspects of their divorce. Unlike a litigated divorce, where each spouse and their respective attorneys fight to “win” the case, a mediated divorce is all about collaboration. The goal in mediation is to move beyond past problems in pursuit of a fair and balanced outcome for both parties. It is planning together for a future apart.

The key to a successful divorce mediation is the mediator’s neutrality. Mediators do not take sides or offer legal advice. Instead, the mediator will review the facts and inform on the law to help both parties find a workable compromise. This is especially important when children are involved as reducing conflict can lay the foundation for effective co-parenting after the divorce is over.

Divorce PRO Wisconsin offers all-inclusive mediation packages starting at just $750.00 per party. From filing to final hearing, our experienced divorce mediators, many of whom are former family law attorneys, will carefully guide you through every step of the process.
