Preparing for a divorce can feel overwhelming. Taking the right steps can make the process smoother. Your preparations should include:
These are only a few of the tasks to undertake before filing for divorce. When you sit down with one of our divorce attorneys, they can provide detailed steps and practical ways to implement them.
Several factors can influence the outcome of a divorce in Minnesota. Understanding these can help you navigate the process. When issuing a divorce order, the court considers:
In child custody cases, the judge considers the best interests of the child when determining custody and parenting time. The Judge will only decide these issues if the parties are not able to reach an agreement together outside of Court.
Child support awards are a combination of each parent’s gross income and certain other extenuating factors. Spousal maintenance (often referred to as alimony) may be determined by each spouse’s financial needs and their ability to meet their needs independently.
Having a divorce attorney is crucial as you close one chapter and begin another. Legal guidance ensures that you complete the steps of your divorce correctly, ensuring that your property rights, and financial resources are maximized. Too often people try the “do it yourself” approach to divorce and are left with a mess that costs more to unravel in the future than it would have cost to do it right to begin with.
In 2023 alone, there were 992,677 divorces across this country, which is a divorce rate of about 2.4 divorces or annulments per 1,000 Americans, according to National Center for Family & Marriage Research. With this in mind, CC&S Attorneys at Law are committed to guiding you through every step of a family law matter with care and attention.
