Wisconsin Real Estate & Divorce

Real estate is real property and includes land and the buildings permanently affixed upon that land. Wisconsin divorce law provides no special rules about real estate, real property, the family home, or even personal property. Real estate is treated the same as all other property - it is an asset of the marriage. As with all assets of the marriage, the aggregate of all assets must be divided between the spouses. The division of all property is stated in the marital property agreement.

All assets, including real property, and both the primary home, as well as vacation homes, must be listed on the financial disclosure statement for both spouses. Even if you and your spouse stipulate the terms of your divorce, those assets must be listed on the financial disclosure form. (Your attorney can request your file sealed so that the information about your assets is not made available to the public).
