Examples of Family Law in Woodbury, MN

Custody and Parenting Time

You will need to decide who gets legal and/or physical custody of your child(ren) and also create a parenting schedule that works with both you and your spouse’s schedule and is in the best interest of your child(ren).

Child Support

Child support is broken down into basic support, childcare support, and medical support. The amount owed is determined by the state and factors such as each parent’s income, the best interest of the child, and the parenting schedule arrangement will be taken into consideration.

Divorce

The process of divorce in Woodbury, MN varies according to the situation and the willingness of each spouse to work towards a solution. For many, divorce also involves important decisions regarding their child(ren), which will impact the family’s future.

Property Division

When it comes to dividing marital property in a divorce, Minnesota is an equitable distribution state as opposed to a community property state. This means that, in Minnesota, property accumulated during the marriage is divided in a way that the court deems to be “fair and equitable,” rather than 50/50.

Spousal Maintenance

Minnesota family law also includes spousal maintenance issues. Whether you are getting a divorce and want to make sure you get a fair spousal maintenance order, or you need to petition the court to either enforce or modify maintenance, our divorce attorneys in Woodbury, MN can help.

What Does a Divorce Involve?

Some of the issues that will need to be resolved during a divorce include the following:

Division of Assets, Property, and Debt

To accomplish this, you will need to determine which assets are considered marital (acquired during the marriage) and which fall under non-marital (owned before the marriage).

Spousal Maintenance

State law dictates that the court can award spousal maintenance if the spouse requesting it cannot provide for reasonable needs, cannot support himself/herself, or cares for a child and cannot work outside the home. You will need to determine if you are going to apply for temporary or permanent maintenance, or both.

How to File for Divorce in Woodbury, MN

Meet the residency requirements for divorce
File divorce forms with your county court
Serve copies of the divorce papers to your spouse
Complete a financial disclosure statement
Finalize the divorce through mediation or litigation

Once you have met the residency requirements, you can file for divorce. To get divorced in MN, at least one of the spouses must be a resident for a minimum of 180 days.

To get started on the divorce process, you need to fill out divorce forms and deliver them to your county court. If you need any advice during this step of the process, it is best to seek the guidance of an experienced divorce lawyer in Woodbury. Make two copies of each form you complete.

After this step, serve your spouse your divorce papers. Next, complete a financial disclosure statement. From there it will be up to you and your spouse to decide which kind of divorce you will pursue – either contested or uncontested. Based on this decision, the next step is to hire an attorney and/or mediator if that applies to your situation.
