Our Divorce Practice
We have a comprehensive understanding of Minnesota's no-fault divorce laws and represent men and women at all stages of a divorce, from the preparation and filing of the complaint through negotiated settlements or trial to post-judgment actions seeking modification or enforcement of existing divorce orders. We handle all matters related to or arising out of the dissolution of a marriage, including:
- child custody and visitation. We will help you establish and implement custody and visitation arrangements that are in the best interests of your minor child while protecting your rights as parents.
- child support. We will review all proposed child support agreements to ensure compliance with Minnesota guidelines and to ensure that all relevant income is factored into the equation.
- the division of property and debt. We will help you equitably divide the debts and assets of your marriage, including real estate, investments, bank accounts, retirement funds and business property. We will handle any tax issues that arise.
- collaborative process. Unlike conventional divorce, Collaborative Practice avoids most court appearances and offers you a team of skilled and compassionate professionals. Each expert in their own fields, the team members help you manage the many aspects of divorce-the legal issues, the emotional turmoil, the concerns for children and the financial and property questions.
- spousal support or alimony. We will help you determine whether alimony is necessary and, if so, develop a strategy to seek the appropriate amount, frequency and length of payments.
- paternity actions. We represent men or women in paternity actions and handle any matters relating to support or visitation that arise.
- orders for protection. In cases involving allegations of domestic violence, we will represent you in proceedings seeking a protective order.
