Wisconsin Community Property

Wisconsin operates under the Marital Property Act, with Wis. Stat. §767.61 governing division in divorce. Wisconsin is the only non-contiguous community property state, having adopted community property principles through its Marital Property Act. Courts are directed to divide all marital property equally, with deviations permitted only when equal division would be inequitable based on length of marriage, property brought to marriage, or similar factors.
