Our Family Law Practice
We work with men and women at all stages of a divorce or family law dispute, from the decision to file through post-judgment motions for modification or enforcement of existing divorce decrees. We handle most matters related to or arising out of contested or uncontested divorce, including:
- Child custody and visitation. We will help you establish and implement custody and visitation arrangements that are in the best interests of your minor children while protecting your rights as a parent.
- Child support. We will review all proposed child support orders for compliance with Wisconsin guidelines and to ensure that all relevant income is properly considered.
- Spousal maintenance or alimony. We will help you determine whether alimony is appropriate and, if so, how much should be paid and for how long.
- Property settlements. We will help you equitably distribute the debts and assets of your marriage, including real estate, bank accounts and investments, retirement assets and business property.
- Paternity disputes. We will represent any party to a paternity dispute, helping establish rights regarding child support, custody and visitation.
Alternative Dispute Resolution
We can represent you in traditional divorce proceedings, as Doug Fyfe has considerable experience in the courtroom. If you wish to avoid the emotional and financial costs of divorce litigation, we can help you with alternative methods of dispute resolution, including negotiated settlements, mediation and the collaborative approach to divorce.
Protect the Assets You Bring to the Marriage
We also work with individuals who are considering marriage or are already married, but want to protect assets brought in to the marriage. We will help you prepare and implement a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement to specify the distribution of property in the event of divorce or separation.
