Experienced Appleton, Wisconsin, Family Law Attorney
If you are facing a divorce or other family law issue, you need more than just legal expertise from your lawyer. Your attorney should be someone who knows the law but can also understand what you're going through.
I have experience as a lawyer and with divorce. I became an attorney and opened Carlton H. Schuh Law Office, S.C., in 1991, and I have been representing my Wisconsin clients in family law and in my other legal practice areas ever since. I have also been through a divorce myself, so I am sympathetic to the emotional roller coaster you might be experiencing. I can help you with all divorce related matters, including:
- Contested divorce: when the parties cannot agree to all the terms of the divorce, so the court needs to decide on these matters in the divorce trial
- Uncontested divorce: when the parties agree to all the terms of the divorce without need for a trial — this often comes about through mediated divorce and collaborative divorce
- Child custody: having the child live with you or having authority to make major decisions regarding the child, like health care and schooling choices
- Child support: the financial support required for the child's upbringing and well-being
- Spousal support: the financial support for a spouse to maintain a similar standard of living to that which the couple enjoyed before the divorce
- Property division: Wisconsin is a 50/50 state meaning all of the property is divided equally between the parties, not necessarily fairly.
Check Your Anger at the Door
Divorce is difficult enough, and the legal system is set up to help people get through it, not to give people a way to inflict further pain to each other. My goal as your attorney is to help you get through your divorce and move on to the next stage of your life.
