Order Converting Legal Separation To Divorce {FA-4162VB}

FA-4162VB - ORDER ON STIPULATION CONVERTING LEGAL SEPARATION TO DIVORCE. This form is used in Wisconsin Circuit Court when a couple who previously obtained a legal separation seeks to convert that legal separation into a divorce. The form formalizes the court’s approval of the parties’ joint request to change their legal status from separated to divorced. It confirms that a stipulation was filed by the parties on a specified date and orders that the judgment of legal separation is now a judgment of divorce. The order also permits either party to resume a prior legal surname, as allowed in the original judgment or requested in the stipulation. Importantly, it affirms that all terms set forth in the original judgment and marital settlement agreement will continue to apply without changes. The form includes a legal notice that neither party may remarry until six months have passed from the date the divorce judgment is granted, and any marriage within that period will be considered void. §§765.03(2), 767.35 and 767.395, Wisconsin Statutes. www.FormsWorkflow.com
