QUESTION
Do I need a Stipulation for Temporary Order?
Asked on Mar 27th, 2017 on Divorce - Wisconsin
More details to this question:
Do I need to complete a Stipulation for Temporary Order if filing for divorce by the end of March when our son will be turning 18 by mid June? He will turn of legal age by the time we go to court for the divorce. In addition, neither once of us are looking for child support or maintenance due to the fact we are under the same roof both providing care for our child. Health, dental and vision as well as providing shelter, clothing, and food is being split 50/50 already. According to the paperwork it states that if myself and spouse don't believe it is necessary to have a formal temporary order then we may ignore this step at this time. We reside in the state of Wisconsin.

the general answer to your question is no; check with the clerk in the family court commissioner's office in the county where you will be filing, to make sure that you are required to come in for a first hearing. If not, and you have things worked out on a temporary basis, you can keep things informal for now as long as you continue to live together temporarily. If you separate, there maybe one a need to have a first hearing or submit a stipulation and order to cover temporary finances while the divorce is pending.
