Wisconsin Maintenance Analysis Results
Based on § 767.56 statutory factors - discretionary analysis
Wisconsin maintenance is decided case by case under statutory factors per § 767.56. This calculator provides an estimate only. Wisconsin courts consider: marriage length, age and physical/emotional health, property division, education level at marriage and divorce, earning capacity of the spouse seeking maintenance, feasibility of becoming self-supporting at a comparable standard of living, tax consequences, mutual agreements, and contribution to the other's education or earning power. There is no fixed formula for calculating Wisconsin maintenance. Orders can be modified under § 767.59 in proper cases. This calculator cannot predict specific court outcomes. Consult a Wisconsin family law attorney for advice specific to your situation.
