Wisconsin is a marital property state, which generally means property acquired during the marriage is divided equally unless an agreement or the court says otherwise. (Wis. Stat. ch. 766 and s. 767.61)
One spouse can buy the other out, the couple can list it, or the couple can sell to a cash buyer. Compare the speed, price and cost of each. See Cash Offer vs. Listing.
