Divorce in Minnesota
We have over 60 years of combined experience representing clients in uncontested as well as contested divorces. As with other civil matters, Minnesota requires mediation in divorce cases, unless an exception (such as domestic abuse) applies. Should the parties be unable to reach a settlement using mediation, you can rely on us for dedicated and zealous litigation representation that always puts your best interests first.
We understand that the divorce process is an emotional and difficult time for you and your family. Our firm believes that honesty, trustworthiness and openness are important. We will give you candid, straightforward advice throughout the entire process. Our job is to give you an objective assessment of your situation and ensure you understand all your options.
Child Custody
We focus on guiding you through child custody issues in a peaceful and respectful manner, putting the best interests of your child first. We will help you find a way for both parents to continue a meaningful relationship with their children.
- Physical custody refers to the care, control and primary residence of your child. In Minnesota, a parent is awarded either sole or joint physical custody.
- Legal custody is the power to make decisions regarding your child's welfare, education and healthcare. Legal custody is presumed to be joint in Minnesota.
- Parenting time, sometimes called visitation, refers to the schedule of how much time each parent will spend with their child.
Child Support
We will help you understand how the Minnesota Child Support Guidelines will be applied to your situation. Factors including each party's income, which parent provides medical insurance and pays for healthcare costs, and parenting time will affect the child support amount.
Spousal Maintenance
The award of spousal maintenance, also known as alimony or spousal support, is based on many factors, including the length of your marriage and each party's financial situation. Spousal support can be permanent or temporary, awarded until the receiving party can become self-sufficient. We will help you understand all the factors the court considers, and give you a realistic idea of what to expect.
Property Division
Minnesota is a equitable distribution state, meaning that the court will consider a number of factors in dividing your marital assets and debts. Generally speaking, you and your spouse will both keep non-marital assets, inheritances and gifts. The rest of your property is subject to equal division. We will give you a realistic assessment of what to expect.
Post-Decree Enforcement and Modifications
We help men and women seek, or defend against, enforcement of orders involving child custody, visitation, child support and alimony. When a change in life or financial circumstances prompt a party to pursue a change in these orders, we will help you seek, or defend against, their modification.
