When seeking out a Minnesota Family Law Attorney it is important to know that the state of Minnesota has a ‘No Fault’ view on divorce. Regardless of vows broken, it is not a crime tho it may hurt. That being said, there may be little to a massive amount of emotions tied to this life changing process and when children are involved the most important aspects of your life come into perspective. There are many paths when it comes to divorce/legal separation but ultimately it comes down to the two individuals and if one or both are interested in the collaborative or contested family law process.
What if We Can Agree to Custody & Parenting Time?
This will mean less time, money, and energy is spent in and on the court system and your divorce specifics. Contact our Minnesota Family Mediation Specialist, Lisa Kallemeyn, to ensure your “Stipulation & Order” is comprehensive and filed with the courts promptly. See will act as a neutral party for both and you may not even need to make an appearance at all.
What if We Can’t Agree to Custody & Parenting Time?
Then it is time to seek out a lawyer to represent you on what matters most to you, also known as, the safety and daily life of your child(ren).

To come to the most beneficial solutions for the child(ren) all the facts need to be present, only then will the Judge get a clear picture of what you want for your children, their life, future and why. The courts will then come to a decision.
