While divorce is never easy, having a clear understanding of all relevant laws can help ease the process. Based in La Crosse, WI, Guillien Van Nuland, LLC provides compassionate and knowledgeable legal guidance to clients seeking solid support during their divorce.

With extensive legal experience focusing on family law and divorce, Attorneys Michelle M. Guillien and Margarita Van Nuland serve as a trusted resource for individuals navigating divorce. They can also provide essential information regarding the process, including the following:

• Divorce Entails Many Decisions: Divorce is rarely cut and dry. Even if couples are in agreement, there are still many decisions that must be made. This can include establishing custody and placement, determining support payments, and the division of property and debts.
• Wisconsin and Minnesota are No-Fault Divorce States: In no-fault states, it is not necessary for either you or your spouse to prove your divorce was the result of wrongdoing. The only requirement is for you to believe your marriage cannot be reconciled by any means, which must be stated under oath for a divorce to take place.
• Mediation Can Be An Alternative: Divorce does not always entail a court hearing. Mediation may be preferable, especially for couples who find common ground on the major issues. Your family lawyer can help you decide whether mediation is right for you.
• Transparency Is Crucial: A divorce lawyer will serve as your advocate throughout your case, which is why it’s important to be open and honest at all times. Failure to share important information will get in the way of devising an effective strategy.
• Disclosure Of Debt Is Required: Along with disclosure of all assets and properties, both you and your spouse must also disclose any outstanding debts. Payment of these debts will then be determined by the judge or by agreement of both parties.
