Family Law Practice
Serving Southeastern Wisconsin, including Milwaukee and Waukesha
Our lawyers at Nelson & Davis, LLC, handle all aspects of family law. When possible, we work to minimize conflict in family law cases. However, when litigation is the only way to resolve problems arising from issues such as divorce, paternity and child custody battles, we are vigorous advocates for our clients.
To learn more about our legal services, follow the links below.
- Divorce: Our attorneys handle everything from simple, uncontested divorces and complex divorces involving high assets and closely held businesses.
- Legal separation and annulment: Many couples opt for a legal separation as an alternative to a divorce. Annulment is less common, but can be appropriate in certain situations.
- Child custody and placement (visitation): We consider the unique circumstances of your life and the needs of your children to achieve your custody and placement (visitation) goals.
- Maintenance and spousal support: Spousal support or maintenance (alimony) payments are determined based on the facts of your case. We can help you make sure your maintenance order is fair and consistent with Wisconsin law.
- Child support: The best interests of the children are the primary concern in any family law matter. Wisconsin law requires both parents to support their children according to state mandated child support guidelines.
- Post-judgment disputes and modifications: When circumstances change after the final divorce or paternity decree, it is possible to modify support, placement (visitation) or maintenance orders under certain circumstances. We can help you determine what is appropriate given the facts of your case.
- Paternity: The law requires a formal determination of paternity for the father to obtain parental rights and to protect the interests of the child. This could include custody, visitation (placement) and financial orders.
- Restraining orders: Law enforcement takes charges of domestic violence very seriously and the court system offers remedies such as restraining orders for victims. For our clients, we can help obtain restraining orders to stay safe if you are an abused spouse or a parent of abused children. We also help protect your rights if you are the subject of a restraining order.
- Cooperative and collaborative divorce: We offer collaborative and cooperative divorce alternatives to extensive litigation in an effort to reduce the negative effects of a divorce on the parties and the children.
