Under Wisconsin marriage law and the laws affecting a family, a marriage is defined as a union between a man and a woman, and it is perceived as a contractual partnership.

Marriage License

A couple planning to marry must abide by the administrative rules of the county in which they plan to marry including a waiting period to obtain a marriage license after making proper application.

Prenuptial Agreements

If the couple wishes to form a prenuptial agreement, then Wisconsin's volumes of case law apply, which provide that the couple must disclose to one another all of their financial obligations and assets.

If a prenuptial agreement is not formed, then Wisconsin laws do not require marrying spouses to disclose any information to one another.

However, under Wisconsin law, if one spouse acquires credit or a loan, the lending agent or creditor must notify the other spouse.

Same Sex Marriages

Wisconsin law prohbits marriage between two people of the same sex.
