Legal Separation: A legal proceeding that separates the parties’ property and finances, and makes custody and placement orders regarding children, but continues their marriage. Legal separation is an alternative for people who wish to avoid divorce for religious or other reasons. Annulment: Dissolves a marriage that was invalid from the beginning. A marriage may qualify for annulment only if it satisfies very limited statutory circumstances. See Wis. Stat. §767.03. Divorce: A legal proceeding to dissolve an irretrievably broken marriage.
