Going through the court system has gotten more and more difficult over the last several years in the Minnesota area. Budget cuts have led to court cutbacks, meaning there are fewer judges to handle the same number (or more) court cases. This leads to a backlog of cases and lengthy wait times to have your case heard. Divorce mediation is an alternative way to settle your divorce that allows you to control the timing and to a greater extent, the outcome of your divorce settlement. Kallemeyn & Kallemeyn of Coon Rapids, MN specializes in divorce mediation and helping families settle such important issues as child custody, division of property and child/spousal support.
Child custody issues are often the most difficult, painful and contentious part of a divorce settlement. After living for a long period of time as a family unit prior to divorce, it is almost unimaginable to think about how you will go from seeing your child each day to splitting custody with your divorcing spouse. Determining child custody is an extremely emotional process that can be settled in one of two primary ways – through the court system or through divorce mediation. Both offer a viable path forward for a couple navigating divorce. Kallemeyn & Kallemeyn of Coon Rapids, MN can help you determine the path forward that will best meet your needs and your budget so that you can begin moving forward and begin a new phase of your life.
