You have to ensure the right paperwork is at the court. Typically you file it after the 6 months are up.

You need to prepare and file the proper paperwork with the court.

Divorces don't become final automatically. One or the other of you must submit appropriate documents to the court for the judgment to be processed. If that hasn't already been done I suggest you speak to a paralegal for assistance as this will be much less expensive than using a lawyer to finish your case.

You must take action to finalize the divorce. It does not automatically happen. You must file a Judgment signed by both parties. You should seek some help at the court to file the right paper.

You must prepare the final Judgment. A party must prepare and submit the final Judgment documents to the court for processing. You should consult a family law attorney or facilitator to determine what documents you may still need to file.

That depends upon how far along you are in the process, whether you have settled all of the issues, and whether you have filed final judgment paperwork or a bifurcation request. Keep in mind that the court will not act on its own, you need to take the action to get the result.ns.

You need to come to an agreement with your spouse, file that and then prepare a final judgment after a court hearing. You don't automatically get a divorce after filing after the waiting period (which is actually 120 days in WI)

I suggest you phone the Clerk of the Court. The Clerk will look up your file and give you an answer.
