Kevin's firm handled setting up my will and trust recently. They took something that seemed intimidating and made it easy to understand. I've also referred a couple clients to Kevin - he's trustworthy, approachable and very fairly priced.
"I've used Kevin and his firm's services since 2011. He gave undivided attention to my cases, advised me on different options and..."

Wisconsin is a no-fault divorce state, so a spouse doesn’t have to prove wrongdoing to dissolve the marriage. Divorce may involve decisions about property and debt division, maintenance, child support, legal custody, and physical placement. Where spouses generally agree on most issues, good planning can help ensure that the eventual agreement takes care of today’s needs as well as tomorrow’s. In Wisconsin, the waiting period is typically 120 days before a final divorce hearing can be held. O’Flaherty Law helps Beloit clients understand each step of the process and make informed decisions along the way.
An uncontested divorce is one where the spouses can agree on the issues that need to be resolved. This can reduce conflict and possibly allow the case to run more smoothly. If there are disagreements about the division of property, maintenance, custody, placement or support, the divorce is contested. A contested case does not mean all issues will necessarily have to be tried. “Spouses can continue to negotiate and settle disputes on the fly. Our attorneys partner with Beloit clients to identify their priorities, pursue practical resolutions when possible, and prepare for court when an important issue cannot be resolved.
Wisconsin couples who do not wish to end their marriage at this time have another alternative, that of legal separation. The court may decide many of the same issues that would come up in a divorce, such as division of property, maintenance, custody, placement and child support. However, the parties are still legally married and cannot marry anyone else. Wisconsin has a similar 120-day waiting period for legal separation. After the separation is granted, the spouses may convert the separation to a divorce at any time mutually agreed upon by them. If they do not agree, normally each spouse can apply for conversion after one year. O'Flaherty Law can assist you in comparing divorce and legal separation based on your circumstances and goals.
