Emphasizing Out-of-Court Resolutions
Focusing on out-of-court resolutions is important because most people prefer to avoid needless court time and expense. In addition, this can result in minimizing public disclosure of private information and often bring the matter to a conclusion sooner.
This approach is appropriate for marriages with property and assets of any size, from small to large.
Identifying Issues, Finding Solutions, and Moving On
Always hire an attorney for these important matters. Anyone considering a divorce needs to hire an attorney to review their situation and provide professional services to bring the matter to a conclusion.
Unmarried Parents With Children
Custody can be established where Minnesota is the home state of the child.
Child Support When There is No Divorce in Progress
Child support can be established and an Order issued requiring payment even where there has been no marriage and there is no divorce case in process. This involves preparing detailed financial calculations, preparing documents, and presenting the evidence to a judicial officer.
“MEDIATED DIVORCE” (NON-CONTESTED DIVORCE)
Providing constructive advice and services for the party who anticipates no contest or has been communicating with their spouse to settle without going to court. Mediation is a separate process where the parties work toward agreement on issues with the aid of a neutral third party.
PRENUPTIAL AND POSTNUPTIAL AGREEMENTS
Assisting clients wishing to prepare contracts drafted before or after the marriage to govern division of property in the event of divorce or death. To be effective, these contracts must be drawn to meet specific legal requirements.
UNMARRIED PARTIES WITH PROPERTY AND OTHER CONCERNS
Careful analysis and planning can often assist parties who have accumulated property together, or intend to, by structuring their relative rights and obligations and creating a plan for the future.
