ABSTRACT

Venturing into complex questions surrounding marital property issues? Take the guesswork out with the newly updated Marital Property Law & Practice in Wisconsin.

Streamlined down from 3 volumes, Marital Property Law & Practice in Wisconsin is practice-ready and user-friendly allowing you to quickly find the answer to any question involving marital property and/or property classification.

The new 5th edition incorporates statutory and common law developments affecting marital property in Wisconsin that have occurred since the last revision in 2010, including recent Wisconsin Supreme Court and Court of Appeals cases that touch on a variety of marital property issues. Notable developments include:
