In Wisconsin, you can sue for equitable property division. You are not afforded the protection under chapter 767 (family code) which means that you aren’t entitled to maintenance (alimony) and there is no presumption of equal property division. However, you are in a long term relationship and presumably have acquired property or a home together and for that, you can sue in civil court for equitable property rights.
