It can be scary when a legal matter affects your family life. Much of the fear and anxiety comes from a lack of clarity regarding your rights and options under Minnesota law. Below are some of the most common questions we hear from clients. Reach out to Sjoberg Law Office, P.A., to get the answers you need.
You don’t need to prove wrongdoing by your spouse to get a divorce in Minnesota. The court only requires that there has been an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. This allows either party to file, even if the other disagrees with ending the marriage.
The cost of a divorce in Ham Lake can vary widely, and depends in large part on whether the divorce is contested. A simple, uncontested divorce might cost under $2,000 in legal and filing fees, while a contested divorce involving custody or property disputes can cost much more. Lawyer fees and court costs are the main factors that affect the overall cost of a divorce.
Yes, Minnesota recognizes prenuptial agreements, but they must meet certain requirements in order to be enforceable. Both parties must fully disclose their assets, and each must have the opportunity to consult a knowledgeable lawyer. The agreement must also be in writing and executed in the presence of two witnesses, no fewer than seven days before the marriage.
In most cases, you cannot move a child out of Minnesota – or even far within the state – without the other parent’s consent or a court order. The court will consider whether the move is in the child’s best interests before allowing relocation that impacts an existing custody arrangement.
If the other parent violates a custody order, you can file a motion with the court to enforce it. The court may impose remedies, including compensatory parenting time, fines, or other penalties. Document any violations of the existing order and consult a Ham Lake family law attorney before taking legal action.
If you’re not listed on the birth certificate, you don’t have legal parental rights in Minnesota until you’ve established paternity. You can do this voluntarily through a Recognition of Parentage form or through a court-ordered paternity action, which may also address custody and parenting time. Discuss your options with your family law attorney.
If a family-related legal matter is keeping you up at night, you need the support of an experienced and compassionate lawyer who can help you understand your legal rights and options and work with you to pursue the most favorable outcome possible.
