Jeddeloh Snyder Stommes’ family law attorneys bring more than 100 years of combined experience to divorce, child custody, child support, and parenting time cases for Crow Wing County families — meeting with you by secure video conference, and appearing in person at the Crow Wing County Judicial Center whenever your case requires a hearing or trial.

How We Help Brainerd-Area Families
Whether your situation is amicable or contested, our attorneys will walk you through your options, explain what to expect, and fight for an outcome that protects you and your children.
Divorce – Contested & Uncontested
Divorces generally fall into two categories: contested, where spouses disagree on some or all terms, and uncontested, where both sides agree on the major issues. Either way, Minnesota divorce law has requirements and deadlines that are easy to get wrong without an attorney. We represent Crow Wing County clients through both contested divorce and uncontested divorce proceedings, building your case over video conference and appearing for you in Brainerd when the court requires it.
Child Custody & Parenting Time
Custody and parenting time are usually the most emotionally difficult parts of a divorce or separation. Our attorneys help Brainerd Lakes Area parents negotiate and litigate custody agreements and parenting time schedules that reflect the best interests of your children, and we represent you at hearings in Crow Wing County District Court when an agreement can’t be reached out of court.
Child Support
Getting a fair child support arrangement — whether you’re paying or receiving — depends on an accurate understanding of Minnesota’s child support guidelines. We help Crow Wing County parents calculate, negotiate, and, when necessary, litigate child support so the outcome reflects both parents’ obligations fairly.
Spousal Maintenance & Property Division
Spousal maintenance (alimony) and dividing marital property are two of the more complex financial pieces of a Minnesota divorce. Our attorneys explain how spousal maintenance is calculated and awarded, and work to secure a fair, equitable division of assets and debts for Brainerd Lakes Area clients.
Adoption, Paternity & Grandparent Rights
Family law covers more than divorce. We assist Crow Wing County families with adoption, establishing paternity, and grandparent visitation rights — each of which comes with its own procedures and standards under Minnesota law. If you’re navigating one of these matters, we can walk you through the process by video consultation and handle any required court filings or appearances.
Post-Decree Modifications & Orders for Protection
Life changes after a divorce is finalized, and sometimes custody, parenting time, child support, or spousal maintenance orders need to be revisited. We help with motions to modify existing orders, as well as orders for protection and harassment restraining orders, representing Crow Wing County clients at the necessary hearings in Brainerd.
