Johnson & Pauls Lawyers

Johnson & Pauls Lawyers is a family law practice based in Eau Claire, Wisconsin — the county seat of Eau Claire County in the Chippewa Valley. The firm provides professional divorce and family law representation to clients in Eau Claire County and the surrounding communities of west-central and northwest Wisconsin, offering experienced counsel through all stages of Wisconsin's divorce process. Eau Claire is a vibrant university city in the heart of Wisconsin's Chippewa Valley, and Johnson & Pauls Lawyers serves the diverse families of this growing community. Wisconsin's divorce framework under Ch. 767, Wis. Stats., incorporates the state's Uniform Marital Property Act to create a system where most assets acquired during marriage are treated as marital property presumptively subject to equal division under §767.61, with courts empowered to deviate from equality when individual circumstances warrant a different outcome. The firm assists clients with all aspects of divorce and family law, including property division, maintenance (spousal support), legal custody, physical placement schedules, and child support. Johnson & Pauls Lawyers understands the importance of Wisconsin's 'physical placement' framework in determining both where children reside and how child support is calculated, and helps parents develop realistic and workable placement agreements. Johnson & Pauls Lawyers serves clients throughout Eau Claire County and extends representation to Sawyer County, Chippewa County, Clark County, and other surrounding communities of the Chippewa Valley and northwest Wisconsin.
