Divorce question for lawyer

I live in wisconsin and am currently going through a divorce. My wife and I have been married for less than 2 years and have no children together no debts that were accrued since our marriage and supposedly neither of us is contesting anything...she is filing for the divorce using what little savings we had together.
My question is ...she is serving me the first paperwork concerning our divorce so that our 120 day waiting period can begin. Is there anything I need to look out for in the paperwork that could screw me up later on ...is there wording her lawyer could use to make it so I could not contest anything later on? anything I need to know to watch for?
Any advice from Knowledgeble members would be much appreciated.

Rent Serving Sara tonight. Quick, run to blockbuster and rent it.

On a more serious note, I've heard that WI has common law marriages, so my assumption is that WI is a little more liberal with divorce settlements.

Being that you've got hardly anything together anyway, I don't see why you couldn't work everything out with a moderator, instead of a judge splitting things up willy nilly. My brother ended a marriage similarily. Little debt, no kids, married for a year. They split the debt, sold the house they had just bought ( broke even ) and took what they brought into the marriage, and amicably split the stuff they had acquired during it.

Don't sign anything until you fully understand the intent of the papers. If you see something you suspect, post it here and get an unbiased opinion.

Sucks that you are getting divorced after such a short time together. Seems to be a trend.....
