How We Help Little Falls-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 Morrison County clients through both contested divorce and uncontested divorce proceedings, building your case by phone and video conference and appearing for you in Little Falls 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 Little Falls-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 Morrison 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 Morrison 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 Little Falls-area clients.
Adoption, Paternity & Grandparent Rights
Family law covers more than divorce. We assist Morrison 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 phone or 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 Morrison County clients at the necessary hearings in Little Falls.

Little Falls Divorce & Family Law: Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to travel to St. Cloud to meet with a divorce attorney?
No. We meet with Morrison County clients by phone or secure video conference, so you can get started from home. When your case requires a hearing or trial, we appear in person at the Morrison County Government Center in Little Falls.
How long do I have to live in Minnesota before I can file for divorce?
Generally, at least one spouse must have lived in Minnesota for 180 days before a divorce case can be started. An attorney can confirm how this rule applies to your situation.
Is Minnesota a no-fault divorce state?
Yes. You do not have to prove that your spouse did something wrong to get divorced in Minnesota. The details of your case can still affect custody, parenting time, and finances, so it’s worth speaking with an attorney early.
What is the difference between legal custody and physical custody?
Legal custody is the right to make major decisions about a child’s upbringing, such as education, health care, and religion. Physical custody is about where the child lives. Minnesota courts decide both based on the best interests of the child.
Is the first consultation free?
Yes. Your initial consultation with Jeddeloh Snyder Stommes is free, and we can meet by phone or secure video conference so you don’t have to travel to our St. Cloud office.
