Grounds for Divorce
Wisconsin is a no-fault state, meaning that neither spouse needs to prove the other's wrongdoing before the court.
"Irretrievable breakdown of the marriage" is the only valid ground to file for divorce in Wisconsin regardless of whether the spouses are going to contest a divorce or not. To start a divorce motion, only one of the spouses is required to testify under oath that the marriage is irretrievably broken, and there is no hope for reconciliation.
