How Is Alimony (Maintenance) Determined in Wisconsin? - #2
Is alimony in Wisconsin more complex than you thought? In this Wisconsin Family Law Insider episode, Sterling Lawyers Managing Partner Holly Mullin discusses how courts determine maintenance awards in divorce cases. Unlike child support that uses a simple formula, maintenance (Wisconsin's term for alimony) depends heavily on which judge you get and which county you're in.
We explore:
- The critical factors courts consider — with length of marriage and earning disparity being paramount
- How vocational evaluators assess a spouse's true earning capacity
- What "imputed income" means and how it affects support determinations
- The general guidelines judges follow for maintenance duration based on marriage length
Listen in for a comprehensive explanation of Wisconsin's maintenance framework and gain valuable insights into how these important financial determinations are made.
