Family Law

Divorce
Child Support
Divorce is the legal process to terminate a marriage. In Minnesota, the court will grant divorce when one party alleges an irretrievable breakdown of the marital relationship. In the divorce process, assets and debt will be distributed among the parties. If the parties have children, custody and child support will also be determined. If the parties disagree, the court will determine the issues in dispute. However, most divorces settle without going to trial.
Child Custody and Visitation
Child custody and parenting time are normally determined when parents are divorced, or in court actions for paternity. Parenting time is commonly referred to as visitation, and refers to the time that the non-custodial parent spends with a child. Parenting time schedules are usually set by a court order.
Paternity
Spousal Support
Spousal maintenance (also known as alimony) can be ordered by the court if the spouse seeking maintenance demonstrates the need for support to provide for their reasonable needs. The standard of living established during the marriage is taken into consideration, as well as the ability to provide for self-support. Maintenance may be provided for a period of training or education.
Annulment
An annulment is a court process that ends a marriage and treats the marriage as though it never happened. Marriage may be annulled under Minnesota statute if one party was not able to give their voluntary consent due to mental illness or incapacity, if one party was under the influence of an “incapacitating” substance, or if consent was obtained by force or fraud. Marriage also may be annulled if one party is unable to consummate the marriage or if the party was under legal age for marriage.

Business and Corporate Law

Business Disputes
Many companies chose to create a corporation to shield the owners personal assets from the liability of the corporation. These companies often elect for an IRS “subchapter S” status.
Limited Liability Companies

Property Law

Real Estate Litigation
Real estate law establishes the rights and responsibilities of property owners, buyers, and sellers. Properly executed transactions can help to lessen the chance of future problems and disputes. An attorney can assist in providing and reviewing real estate documents. When problems arise, an attorney can provide advice, and litigate if necessary.
Construction Litigation
Representing clients for various real estate and construction law matters, including adverse possession, encroachments, mechanics’ liens, homeowner warranty rights, insurance claim issues, and contractor disputes.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Estate planning is directing and planning for the orderly transfer of one’s property at death, and planning for the care of one’s family at death. Proper estate planning will insure that your property, investments and personal belongings are handled in the manner that you wish when you are no longer here. Estate planning also includes minimizing the estate taxes that will be payable.
Wills
Healthcare Directives (sometimes called “Living Wills”) are used to designate one’s wishes regarding medical decisions and access to medical information if a person becomes unable to make decisions on their own. It allows a person to provide a clear statement of wishes about their choice to prolong life or to withhold or withdraw treatment.
Trusts
A Will names one or more persons to manage ones estate and provides for the transfer of property upon death. A person can also make other designations in their will, including instructions for the care of minor children and a person’s wishes for their funeral arrangements.
Power of Attorney
A Power of Attorney enables your agent or “Attorney in Fact” to act on your behalf. The power may be general, or limited to a certain activity. Often the Power of Attorney is used in estate planning to designate a person to act for another upon one’s incapacity.
