Family Law Services We Provide

We cover a wide range of family law services, including divorce, spousal support and alimony, division of assets and liabilities, child custody, child support and domestic abuse cases.

Child Custody

When parents end a partnership or marriage, the issue of who is granted custody of shared children can be a difficult one. A child custody or visitation battle following a divorce is never easy, and you just want what’s best for your children. Fortunately, Minnesota laws are tailored to provide for the child’s best interests in such cases.

Many factors are taken into consideration when deciding who is granted custody, so it is helpful to have a family lawyer go through these factors with you so you know exactly what you might be up against in court.

Child Support

Like child custody, there are many factors involved in deciding which parent must pay child support, how much will be paid and other decisions that must be considered. Child support laws in Minnesota have been created with the child’s best interest in mind, and as a result, they can be fairly complicated. Speaking with a family lawyer who is well-versed in all the current laws can help you educate yourself and prepare financially for both you and your child’s futures.

Divorce & High-Asset Divorce

If you are contemplating divorce or have been served with paperwork regarding a divorce, it is very important to understand all your options and what impact they will have on you and your family. You don’t want to be unprepared when making these life-changing decisions about assets, alimony and childcare.

Our experienced attorneys are here to walk you through the entire process and help you make the best decisions for your unique situation. We deal with all components of divorce, including settlements, property division, alimony and matters surrounding children, such as child custody and support. We also represent clients who are facing a high-asset divorce, where at least one person in the divorce has a very high net worth. These cases require experienced legal representation as they typically involve large assets, investments and property.
