Forms in Wisconsin
Wisconsin uses standardized, numbered petition forms statewide, each starting with the FA prefix and varying by case type. Form FA-4108V is the Petition With Minor Children. Form FA-4109V is the Petition Without Minor Children. FA-4110V and FA-4111V are the matching Joint Petition versions for couples filing together. A companion guide, Form FA-4100V, Basic Guide to Divorce, walks self-represented filers through the process and helps them pick which of the four petition forms fits their situation.
Virdix's document-preparation product currently prepares divorce paperwork for California and Florida cases. This page explains how forms works under Wisconsin law for people researching before they file. It is not legal advice, and Virdix does not prepare or file Wisconsin paperwork.

Where to get official Wisconsin divorce forms
wicourts.gov/services/public/selfhelp/index.htm serves as the statewide self-help hub. Filers can search the full circuit court forms catalog at wicourts.gov/forms1/circuit/ccform.jsp for any FA-series or CV-series form, by category or by number. The catalog covers every Wisconsin circuit court form, not just family law, so searching by category first gets you to the divorce-relevant FA series faster than a keyword search.
The four petition forms
Use Form FA-4108V, Petition With Minor Children, or FA-4109V, Petition Without Minor Children, when one spouse files and the other responds. Use Form FA-4110V, Joint Petition With Minor Children, or FA-4111V, Joint Petition Without Minor Children, when both spouses file together in an agreed case. Pick the right form up front: Wisconsin clerks generally reject a petition that mismatches the joint-versus-single-filer or children-versus-no-children categories.
Financial disclosure and UCCJEA information
The official sites don't list exact standalone form numbers for a financial disclosure affidavit or a UCCJEA custody-jurisdiction affidavit within the FA-series petition packets. Wisconsin Family Court practice generally requires financial disclosure and, for cases with minor children, jurisdictional information consistent with the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act. Search the current FA-series catalog at wicourts.gov/forms1/circuit/ccform.jsp to confirm the exact documents your court accepts, since some Wisconsin counties add a local financial disclosure form on top of the statewide FA-series set under their own circuit court rules.
E-filing and the $35 per-party fee
Wisconsin's official circuit court fee schedule sets a $35-per-party e-filing fee for electronically filed civil, small claims, family, paternity, criminal, forfeiture, and probate cases statewide. A granted fee waiver removes this charge. E-filing is mandatory for attorneys and high-volume filers, but stays voluntary for self-represented litigants. Wisconsin's Circuit Court Access system (wcca.wicourts.gov) and eFiling portal (efiling.wicourts.gov) run statewide, not as a county-by-county patchwork like several neighboring states use.
Fee waiver and self-help network
Filers who can't afford filing costs can submit Form CV-410A, Petition for Waiver of Fees and Costs, Affidavit of Indigency (Circuit Court, Civil), authorized under Wis. Stat. Section 814.29. Form CV-485 is the attorney-specific version, for attorneys petitioning on behalf of indigent clients. A granted fee waiver also exempts the filer from the $35 e-filing fee, so the two forms work together rather than as separate applications.
