Contested Divorce

A contested divorce is when one or both spouses disagree with the divorce and/or the terms presented in the divorce agreement. A contested divorce presents many additional challenges, but they can be overcome so that the divorcing couple can stay civil toward one another. Our divorce attorneys have experience in many types of issues in divorce.

Uncontested Divorce

In an uncontested divorce, both spouses agree to the divorce and can also decide on significant issues without conflict. However, for the divorce to remain amicable, all decisions must be able to be agreed on. Having an expert divorce lawyer on your side will make all the difference in the outcome of your divorce. Often, a divorce can start out with agreements between spouses, but disagreements can quickly change the divorce into a contested situation.

Custody and Child Support

When children are involved, child custody and child support are two significant hurdles to clear during a divorce. A divorce attorney can provide advice to help parents to arrive at acceptable solutions that are in the children’s best interests.

Spousal Support and Property Division

Once the divorce has been initiated, a person’s mind often quickly turns to the issue of spousal maintenance and division of property. Both are important concerns, but you need to understand what is involved. The best way to understand these complicated matters is to have an experienced divorce attorney working for you.

Spousal Support

Formerly known as alimony, spousal maintenance is a monetary payment to assist one of the spouses with living expenses. Our divorce attorneys will help you understand the rules about spousal maintenance.

Property Division

The division of property falls under two main categories: marital property and non-marital property. As a no-fault state, the determination of the division of property in Minnesota is not based on marital misconduct; the Court is to make a fair and equitable division of said property, and a divorce attorney can help you understand what is fair and equitable.
