The essentials to filing for Legal Separation are the same in WI as with divorce, with the except of not indicating that the marriage is irretrievably broken.

File a petition for legal separation in the court in the county where you are a resident. Then have the other side served.

Your most prudent first step is to consult an experienced family law attorney. If you retain him or her, the lawyer will file a petition for legal separation in the appropriate court. The case usually proceeds very similarly to a divorce, except that the grounds are very slightly different, and the judgment will say Legal Separation instead of divorce. Hire a good lawyer. Good Luck.
