Realistic Solutions
The end of a relationship whether it is a contested or uncontested divorce, annulment, legal separation or the end of a domestic partnership, can be one of the most traumatic events in a person's life. There are many factors to consider; from how to divide the property to how it will affect your children. The strain can sometimes seem too much to bear. If you have decided to pursue annulment, legal separation or divorce, the divorce attorney you choose is extremely important to having a trusted, experienced advocate on your side to guide you through the process, from the decision to file through negotiation, mediation or trial, as well as post-judgment requests for modification or enforcement of existing orders and all areas that may concern your family, including:
- Child custody and visitation: We help you create a child custody plan that is in the best interests of your minor child while protecting your rights as a parent. We also help you establish a parenting plan that considers the medical, educational, religious and other special needs of your child.
- Child support: We review all proposed child support orders for compliance with Minnesota guidelines and confirm that all relevant income is part of the calculation.
- Alimony or spousal support: Our attorneys help you determine whether spousal maintenance is appropriate and, if so, the necessary amount and duration of payments.
- The division of marital property: We work with you to equitably divide the debts and assets of your marriage, including real and personal property, bank accounts and investments, retirement funds and business assets. We also help you protect assets during and after a divorce.
- The modification or enforcement of existing divorce judgments: We handle all matters related to requests for modification or enforcement.
- Domestic violence and orders for protection
Legal Separation Instead of Divorce
If you are seeking a legal separation instead of a divorce based on religious grounds or other reasons, we are experienced in Minnesota law concerning this process.
Domestic Relationships
If you are an unmarried couple seeking to begin or end a domestic relationship, we are here to help you.
Preserving Your Financial Resources
We encourage our clients to seek an amicable resolution rather than engage in lengthy litigation. We believe it is better to preserve your financial resources rather than spend them on contentious litigation, if at all possible. However, if an agreement cannot be reached, we have the experience to effectively litigate your disagreements and pay close attention to your financial concerns, making every effort to resolve the issues within your budget if possible.
Informed Guidance
During the process, we help you understand each stage of the process so that you know what to expect during pleadings (legal documents), including summons, petition, answer and counter-petition, if any; discovery (information collection); settlement resulting in a marital termination agreement or a stipulated judgment and decree; and trial if disputes cannot be settled.
