Legal Question in Family Law in Wisconsin
Stuck in Wisconsin
I have been with my boyfriend for 6 1/2 years. I want to leave him but financially I don't know how. Am I entitled to property or anything that he has? I know that I can get child support but after six and a half years what else can I get of his? We have 3 children together.

Re: Stuck in Wisconsin
Unlike many states, WI does not recognize
"common law marraige", so you will have
no marital rights unless married. Child
support for three children, however, is
automatically set at 28% of income once
paternity is established in court. You
own such other property, etc., as you
are able to prove in court that you
own through offerring payment receipts,
contracts, partnership agreements, etc.
