Wisconsin Alimony: How to Change Your Spousal Support Payment - #47
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Your friend paid half the marriage length. The online calculator says something completely different. Your attorney won't give you a straight answer. Alimony in Wisconsin is a scary part of divorce because there are no standard formulas—just judicial discretion that varies dramatically even within the same county. Sterling Law Offices Managing Partner Holly Mullin and Senior Partner Jeff Morrell reveal how ‘Mac Davis calculations’ actually work and why even experienced attorneys get wildly wrong on predictions.
In this episode, you'll learn about:
- Mac Davis formula calculations combining after-tax incomes into fairness percentages
- Earning capacity imputation through vocational evaluators when spouses claim unemployment
- Duration variations from transitional maintenance to indefinite, based on circumstances
- Buyout alternatives offering lump sum discounts for clean breaks
- Modification triggers, including remarriage income changes and child support termination
Listen in to discover why marriage length and income disparity override all other factors, how no-fault divorce means unfaithful spouses can still collect maintenance, and why trusting your friend's divorce outcome or online calculators is the biggest mistake for Wisconsin's most unpredictable issue.
