Family Law

Milwaukee Family Law Attorneys

Divorce and family law issues hit close to home....and close to the heart. They involve decisions about the person with whom you live and on many occasions, your children.

When children are involved, and sometimes considerable assets, it can be highly emotional.

Because of this, it is important to choose a lawyer who is compassionate and understanding of your Family or Divorce matter and is strong enough to represent your interests effectively in negotiations or in court.

Our divorce and family law attorneys are caring, compassionate lawyers who will assertively represent your best interests.

Tips And Advice On Informal Family Law Arrangements


Many people are unaware that informal arrangements about child custody, child support, and spousal support are not enforceable in Wisconsin courts.

If you lose your job and are temporarily unable to make child support payments, for example, your children's other parent may informally agree to let you suspend support payments temporarily.

However, the State of Wisconsin will not.

You must continue making payments until you receive a modification in the court ordered child support either by a written stipulation or pursuant to a court order following a hearing. Without a legal modification of support, you will be in arrears on your child support obligation. You will be held responsible for all back child support plus 12 percent interest.

Don't take chances when your family and your finances are at stake. Consult one of our experienced Milwaukee Family Lawyers at Halling & Cayo, S.C. Contact a Divorce and Family Law Attorney at Halling & Cayo, S.C.
