If you are seeking divorce or legal separation and have children, you will need to address issues of child custody, child support, and visitation.
Minnesota law recognizes two types of child custody: physical custody and legal custody.
Anderson Law Offices will help you navigate this complex area of the law and provide peace of mind for you and your children.
Under Minnesota law, every child has the right to financial support from both parents. When parents do not live together, the court will issue an order setting the terms of child support payments. Child support payments are typically made by the non-custodial parent to the custodial parent and are made to provide for the needs of the child.
Minnesota child support payments are calculated based on factors including the number of children in need of support, the income of the parents, the amount of parenting time spent by each parent, and other factors. If circumstances change, Anderson Law Offices can help modify child support payments.
Parenting time or visitation rights are usually set by a parenting plan. Typically, the non-custodial parent receives a minimum of 25% of parenting time. However, a judge can modify this amount if visitation is not in the best interests of the child. If a parent has a concern about the parenting plan, Anderson Law Offices can request a change in the parenting time order.
Pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements are entered into before or during a marriage. These contracts often address issues of asset distribution in the event of a divorce or death. They can be used to provide a larger inheritance to children from a prior relationship or to safeguard assets if one spouse has significantly more assets than the other.
To be enforceable, strict guidelines must be followed. Anderson Law Offices can guide you through this process, create or evaluate a pre-nuptial or post-nuptial agreement, advocate for your rights, and protect you in the event of a dispute.
Complex legal issues can arise when families consider adoption. Different procedures will apply depending on the age and circumstances of the child and their birth parents. Anderson Law Offices will help you understand the applicable laws and guide you through the process.
