11. Madison Wisconsin Attorney
 |
We call this "Dissolution of Marriage" these days. I have been practicing law for more than two decades (the first two years as a law student in the Legal Services Center at my law school). As part of my student internship, I participated in the "Pro Se Divorce Project" during my student years. For five years after licensing, I headed up the project. So, for seven years, I taught people to do their own simple divorces. My practice, for the first twelve years, was about 80% family law including divorce (or dissolution), visitation and child support matters.
During those years, I developed a philosophy about my divorce process: I want my clients to come out of their divorce willing to take a chance and get married again. No, I don't mean walking out of divorce court to city hall across the street with your new spouse-to-be and getting married the day after. Let's face it, divorce is seldom a pleasant matter and many people consider it a "failure". What does my philosphy mean to you? Don't expect to come in to my office and find a shark: I will NOT take your spouse to the cleaners. I will NOT promise you the moon. I won't play games with your spouse's attorney: that means I am NOT going to treat this matter like S/He and I are getting the divorce. I do what I say: so if I tell someone I will have a marital settlement agreement to them by the end of the week, that is what will happen, barring some emergency. I expect YOU to do what I advise you to do. If you don't I just can't imagine why you would want to pay me money. You will be the "reasonable one". You will obey the orders of the court. If that doesn't sound like what you want, don't bother to hire me.
I'm an adoptive parent. After years of trying to get pregnant, I gave up and had convinced myself that I would end up being a wonderful aunt, but I would never be a mama. Well, the brief story is at the age of 42, and as a single woman, on September 10, 1995, in Hefei City, Anhui, Peoples Republic of China, my daughter's "Ama" (nurse or caretaker, in Chinese) handed Angela Caihong Joyce Cazel to me and I became a mama. There is a long version of this story and I would be glad to tell you and show you a video if you sit still long enough. |

Parties to a divorce action must deal with issues involving legal custody and physical placement of minor children, child and family support and the division of marital property. Our attorneys ensure that our clients are aware of their rights. We believe that it is important to work closely with our clients to be certain that their rights are pursued and protected in a manner that suits the client and is appropriate under the circumstances. As an example, we see that clients receive an equitable share of the family’s marital property. In some cases, that process requires the correct valuation and fair division of assets, discovery of a spouse’s hidden assets, or prevention of improper disposal of marital property.
Legal custody and physical placement of minor children must also be determined during a divorce action. The resolution of these issues should reflect the ability of each party to provide necessary supervision for the children with the desire that both parents remain involved in their lives. Our attorneys are experienced in handling these issues, and are often appointed by the courts to represent the interests of children in divorce cases as guardians ad litem.
Child and family support issues can also become a matter of dispute during the dissolution of a marriage. A spouse may require financial support while securing employment, completing a degree or establishing a career. In addition, it may be necessary to make arrangements for child support in order to protect the interests of the minor children. All of these issues require the thoughtful and skillful representation which is provided by our Family Law attorneys.
Lathrop & Clark LLP has been part of Madison, Wisconsin and its environs for almost 100 years and is proud of its history as a leader in the community, and as a contributor to its growth and prosperity. As the law firm has grown with Madison, our practice has spanned the state and country and now runs the spectrum from real estate closings to complex patent litigation. Like Madison, we are small enough to know and serve your needs, yet sophisticated enough to provide world class representation. |

19. Wisconsin Family Law Attorney

Mr. Fraker’s dedication to you is evidenced by the fact that he handles all of his cases personally, providing his individual attention at every phase, rather than putting you off to an associate or a paralegal.
Collaborative divorce is a non-adversarial method of handling a divorce case. The parties and their respective attorneys promise in writing to exchange information freely, to work together toward solving all of the issues that need to be addressed, and not to ask the Court to resolve their disputes. Good faith, trust, and cooperation are integral parts of this process. |
