So the details of your marital situation are really important in order to help guide you here.  There is really not enough information to be specific so I will try and help in a general way. So Wisconsin allows what is called pendente lite support which is support temporary support to one party during a divorce proceeding.  If no divorce has been filed and a party has left the house, many states allow you to file for temporary support in their Family Court. I think that you should call around and see about having a consultation with an attorney as soon as you can.  Try your local bar association and see if they have areferral service.  Good luck.
