Practice Areas - Wisconsin Family Law

Some of our clients devote a portion of their family law practices to helping people with Pro Se matters. “Pro se” is Latin for “in one's own behalf.” The right to appear pro se in a civil case in federal court is defined by statute 28 U.S.C. § 1654. Thus, with some limitations, anyone can appear pro se, and anyone who appears before the Court without an attorney is considered pro se.

Keep in mind that even attorneys hire a lawyer to represent them, especially in matters involving contested divorce, contested paternity, contested legal custody, physical placement of a child, and marital property agreements.
