Divorce
Child Support
It is important to understand that your marital wealth is not necessarily divided in half. A judge must consider 13 statutory factors, from the financial positions of each party to career sacrifices and contributions to the marriage. Our attorney goes beyond the equitable distribution statute to anticipate spousal support and child support, the possibility that one spouse may end up in bankruptcy, and ramifications for retirement and estate planning.
Child Custody and Visitation
Ending a marriage can involve significant emotional and financial stress. Whether your divorce involves heated debates over child custody, or you have already come to an agreement concerning property division and other issues, it is important to make sure that everything is done correctly the first time around.
Paternity
Divorce, domestic violence accusations, and paternity disputes are only three of the many issues that can accompany child custody battles. Whatever situation you find yourself in, it is important to have an experienced Kenosha child custody lawyer you can trust on your side.

Many of crimes against children carry serious penalties. For example, child abuse defined as intentionally causing bodily harm is charged as a Class H felony. It carries penalties of up to six years in prison and fines of up to $10,000.

Assault
Murder
If your actions were a substantial factor in the death of another while you were attempting to or accomplished some other felony crime, you will be charged with felony murder. Being convicted of this crime will add an additional 15 years to whatever your sentence may be for the underlying felony.
Homicide
Intentional homicide involves intentionally causing the death of another, which can include an unborn child. This violent crime may be charged as first-degree or second-degree depending on the circumstances, such as premeditation and/ or a wanton disregard for human life. Intentional homicide is charged as the highest-level felony, which is a Class A punishable by up to life in prison.
Arson
Unlike other states, Wisconsin does not use the word “murder” except in reference to felony murder. Felony murder occurs when one causes the death of another while committing some type of felony crime, such as armed robbery, arson, or rape. In Wisconsin, murder is referred to as homicide, which may either be intentional or unintentional. Of course, this is the most serious charge you can face because it involves the taking of human life. As such, it is aggressively prosecuted and harshly punished.
Restraining Order
Once you have been arrested for domestic abuse, you will be prohibited from making any contact with the alleged victim for 72 hours. Violating this no-contact rule carries penalties of a fine of up to $10,000 and/or nine months in jail. Furthermore, after this if the court deems it necessary, a restraining order may be issued which continues the no-contact rule. If you are named in a restraining order, you will have to find elsewhere to live, may lose custody of your children, and be forced to abide by other restrictions.
Kidnapping
Manslaughter
Often known as manslaughter in other states, unintentional homicide can occur in several ways in Wisconsin. This offense may be committed with a vehicle by driving under the influence of an intoxicant and also occur in other ways associated with intoxication. Vehicular unintentional homicide may be charged as a Class D felony punishable by up to 25 years in prison and fines of up to $100,000.
