To file for divorce in Minnesota, you or your spouse must live in the state (or be a military member stationed in the state) for at least 180 days.
As a “no-fault” state, Minnesotans can file for divorce by citing “an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage relationship.” This means it is not necessary to prove that a spouse’s behavior was what led to the divorce.
Once you have reached the state requirements, you can file for divorce. To do so, you must fill out the following forms and file them with the county court. Your divorce attorney can assist you with this process. Once you have completed this step, you must serve your spouse divorce papers (you yourself cannot do this, but a law enforcement professional can). Your spouse will respond and then you and your spouse will determine which type of divorce you would like to pursue moving forward.
There are two types of divorce available in Minnesota:

Mediation:

Our employees are the key to the success of our clients, and ultimately of the firm. We strive to create a culture that instills a sense of belonging. We want to provide our employees with a safety net, which empowers them to take risks and make leaps, while knowing that others will support, assist and, if need be, catch them. Maintaining a firm culture of shared vision, open communication, positive work environment and friendships will foster a cohesive team of professionals working together to champion the successes of our clients, our community partners, and the firm.
We believe the legal industry needs to break free from its stale and uncreative practices in order to serve the needs of today’s clients. We seek to lead the way in revolutionizing the way consumers experience legal representation. We strive to reinvent all major facets of the delivery of legal services, including how we involve our clients in our representation through information sharing and communication, how we produce legal documents, manage cases, and price our services. We understand the challenges that come with innovation, and strive to support one another’s new ideas.
We strive to ensure that our attorneys and staff are fully versed in their practice areas to provide our clients the best advice and representation. The knowledge necessary to do so includes not only mastering the letter of the law, but also understanding trends in the interpretation and application of the law. We are life long learners who know there will never come a day when we have all the answers. We nurture and rely on our strong network of relationships within the firm and beyond. We study; we reflect; we converse; and we challenge one another. Our depth of knowledge sets us apart.
