If you filed first in Wisconsin, your case would take precedence over the case subsequently filed by your spouse in Minnesota; you must effect personal service under Wisconsin law within 90 days of filing. Your post doesn't mention if you have minor children involved; there are also certain jurisdictional issues which determine which state would have jurisdiction, depending on where the children have resided during the last 6 months. It would be best to consider discussing your case with a Minnesota family lawyer, to file an objection to the case as filed in Minnesota.
