How can I find out if I would receive spousal maintenance in my divorce? What are the guidelines in Wisconsin?

Section 767.56 of the Wisconsin Statutes outlines the factors the court must consider in awarding maintenance (spousal support).  It depends what your facts are. Generally, if you are married more than 20 years (long term marriage), you can expect that the starting point for spousal support will be 50% of the available income for an indefnite period of time. If you are married less than 10 years (short term), absent exigent circumstnaces, you can probably expect the court will not award spousal support. In the area of 11-19 years of marriage, it depends what the facts are. Usually, in that length of marriage, one could expect to receive  maintenace for half the length of the marriage as a starting point, but it may not necessarily by 50% of the income, as it would be in a long term marriage. It really depends on what the facts are.
