Contested Divorce Representation

A contested divorce is one that takes places in the context of the court system. In the state of Minnesota, a divorce is considered to be contested even if the couple agrees to every issue single except for one. In these cases, spouses generally seek representation from separate lawyers because of the complexity of the relationship. In contested divorce cases, you and/or your spouse have decided that one or more of important issues of your marriage cannot be resolved through the process of legal negotiation or divorce mediation and therefore requires the services of a judge and the court to resolve the issues that remain. Typically, the unresolved issues between divorcing spouses include dividing property equitably, determining which of you will take responsibility for the debts you have incurred as a couple, payment of spousal support (if applicable), child custody, and child support.

Uncontested divorce tends to be less complex and can often be resolved without a court battle, often by using divorce mediation services, which usually does not involve individual representation. Uncontested divorce usually means that the couple has determined that they can resolve their issues without the adversarial approach that’s typical of court processes. An uncontested divorce can be less expensive and less stressful.
