Attorney Trisha Festerling

At Divergent Family Law, we believe that divorce is not just a legal process, but a transition that requires intelligent planning to secure a successful outcome. Our experienced team of attorneys is dedicated to providing top-notch representation to clients navigating the complexities of family law in Wisconsin.

Our Divorce Process

Divorce is a disassembly of a legal contract, a division of assets, and a signing of responsibility for property that cannot be physically divided. It is a process that can be emotionally and financially challenging. At Divergent Family Law, we minimize uncertainty and disruption with calculated planning for what you want your life to look like after the dust settles. Our approach to divorce is deliberate and determined. We understand that every client's goals and priorities are unique, and we tailor our strategies to ensure the best possible outcome for each individual.

Why Choose Us?

Our team of attorneys has a thorough understanding of the entire divorce process, including divorce, child custody and placement, child support, paternity cases, post-judgment modifications, and more. We have a proven track record of success, with attorney Tom Grieve recognized as one of the "Top 100 Trial Lawyers in Wisconsin" by the National Trial Lawyers Association. Our lawyers are well-versed in the appeals process and can evaluate the chances of winning an appeal. We also offer divorce mediation, a neutral third-party process that helps couples reach an agreement without going to trial.

Pre-Judgment Options

You and your spouse may prefer to reach a mutual agreement instead of going to trial. Our attorneys can help you through the agreement process by negotiating with your spouse's attorney. We also offer divorce mediation, where our lawyer acts as a neutral third-party to help you and your spouse reach an agreement without going to trial.
