Liden, Dobberfuhl & Harrington, SC

Antoine Hoeft & Eberhardt SC is a well-established family law partnership serving Ozaukee County and the northern Milwaukee metropolitan corridor from its offices in Port Washington, a historic lakefront city on Lake Michigan approximately twenty-five miles north of downtown Milwaukee. Operating as a Wisconsin service corporation, the three-attorney firm brings decades of combined experience to one of Wisconsin's most affluent suburban counties, where property division, spousal maintenance, and complex custody arrangements frequently arise in high-asset dissolution proceedings. The firm's wislawfirm.com platform offers clients an accessible gateway to scheduling and firm information. Wisconsin's family law framework under Chapter 767 of the Wisconsin Statutes distinguishes itself through the state's Uniform Marital Property Act (Chapter 766), which treats property acquired during marriage as marital property subject to a presumption of equal division under §767.61 — making Wisconsin function similarly to a community property state. Antoine Hoeft & Eberhardt SC guides clients through this framework with particular attention to the statutory factors courts may consider in departing from equal division, including the length of the marriage, each party's economic circumstances, and contributions to the marital estate. The firm's attorneys are equally versed in Wisconsin's unique 'physical placement' terminology (§767.41), which replaces the conventional 'visitation' language used in most states and carries specific rights and obligations. Spousal maintenance under §767.56 is another area of depth for the firm, as Wisconsin courts weigh the length of the marriage, the standard of living established during the marriage, and each party's earning capacity in crafting maintenance awards. The mandatory 120-day waiting period from service of the summons before a divorce can be finalized (§767.315(3)) shapes the firm's strategic planning on behalf of clients, who are counseled throughout the period on their rights regarding temporary orders for support, occupancy of the marital residence, and child placement. Child support is calculated under DCF 150 administrative rules using a percentage of payer income model, and the firm assists clients in understanding how variable income — including bonuses, overtime, and business income common in Ozaukee County's professional demographic — factors into support calculations. Ozaukee County encompasses Port Washington's historic fishing harbor, the Lake Michigan shoreline communities of Grafton, Cedarburg, Mequon, and Saukville, and a population that skews toward dual-professional households with substantial retirement and investment assets. Antoine Hoeft & Eberhardt SC understands the county's economic profile and regularly assists clients with the division of retirement accounts through qualified domestic relations orders (QDROs), executive compensation packages, and business interests. The firm's longstanding presence in Port Washington and its relationships within the Ozaukee County court system give clients the benefit of experienced local advocacy in one of Wisconsin's most active family courts.
