People who are not represented by an attorney are referred to as either "self-represented" or "pro se". The Wisconsin Court System has created the Wisconsin Court System Pro Se Site to help self-represented parties through the divorce process. They now have forms for both before and after the final judgment of divorce.
Because the Wisconsin Court System now has forms for most aspects of divorce, we are no longer offering our Order to Show Cause Packet. Please use the above link for your form needs. We're not sure whether the instructions to complete the mandatory Divorce Certificate is online, so we are providing the following link:
A stipulation is an agreement between the parties to a case. If a stipulation is provided to the Court and the Court approves it, it becomes an order. Stipulations can be used to save time if both of you agree, because you generally don't have to go in front of the Court Commissioner or Judge unless there is a problem.
If you are filling out a stipulation to modify child support, you must either follow the child support guidelines or give a statement of facts so the Commissioner or Judge can find a good reason to set child support at some other amount.
While it's a good idea to hava a lawyer represent you in a case, you may still want do do your own. Even then, you may find that it's quicker and easier to do your own divorce if you have someone to help you fill out the forms. Form packets, and help with filling out those forms, may be available from the following sources:
