Pro-Se Divorce Law Services in Sheboygan, WI

There are many times when both parties truly believe they can resolve their differences amicably and want to do so in the most cost-effective and efficient manner. In a Pro-Se divorce, each party represents themselves and works with each other to draft all the necessary documents to complete their divorce.

The first step in the divorce process is filing the action in court, which can either be done as a joint petition or summons and petition. 

The second step is for each party to prepare financial disclosure statements which identify your income, monthly expenses, assets, and debts.  

The third step is creating a settlement agreement that addresses all the outstanding issues, which can include child custody/placement, child support, maintenance, property, and debt division.

  

The fourth step is attending the final court hearing where the court reviews your agreement and grants a final divorce. 

The final step, often forgotten by “non-lawyers” doing Pro-Se work, is making sure assets are divided according to the agreement, which can involve the signing of deeds for real estate or submitting qualified domestic relations orders for the division of retirement accounts.

While these steps may still sound a bit daunting, you don’t have to worry, as Attorney Todd Basler is an experienced separation law attorney who will provide you step-by-step instruction throughout the divorce process and, if necessary, offer his meditation services to help resolve any difference you may have.
