Collaborative Divorce

Our Practice Areas

Divorce

The end of a marriage is one of life's most traumatic events. Mindful of this, Loeb & Herman, S.C., maintains a warm, informal office atmosphere. We strive to help our clients feel comfortable.

It is an approach that has won our firm recognition in both Milwaukee Magazine and The Best Lawyers in America as being among the best family lawyers practicing today.

Our divorce practice emcompasses both traditional divorce, as well as innovative approaches such as collaborative and cooperative divorce, which emphasize a more holistic approach to addressing the financial and emotional issues attending the divorce action.

Traditional Divorce

The majority of our practice consists of representing parties in traditional divorce actions, either by commencing the action on behalf of a client seeking a divorce or representing an individual whose spouse recently filed for divorce. Periodically, the parties will choose to file the action together.

However, our firm will not represent both parties under any circumstances, as it presents a conflict of interest.

The most common issues raised in divorce actions are: Property division (including valuation, distribution of assets and tax consequences), child custody (major decision-making authority), physical placement (allocation of visitation), child support and maintenance (formerly alimony).

Contested Divorce v. Uncontested Divorce

A contested divorce is a divorce in which the parties do not agree on certain terms of the divorce, whether that be division of property, support or custody of children. 

If a matter is contested, the issues will be presented to a Judge who will make the decisions.

An uncontested divorce is a divorce in which the parties agree on all terms of their divorce and have entered into a Marital Settlement Agreement.

The Marital Settlement Agreement will be incorporated into a Final Judgment of divorce at a short hearing.
