What To Consider Before Divorce

Often, couples that are going through a divorce have acquired various assets during the marriage. Marital assets are designated as any property obtained during the marriage by either spouse. Even if the title to the property is owned by one spouse, it could still be marital property. The parties to a divorce can agree to distribute the marital property as they choose. If they cannot come to a mutual agreement, the distribution of marital property will be decided by the court.

Marital estates can sometimes include things like real estate, investments and other business interests. These can sometimes be difficult to divide between both parties. M. Sue Wilson and associates will work for the best outcome for you, regardless of the complexity.

In the case of one spouse having assets prior to a marriage, the couple may have signed a prenuptial agreement. The prenuptial agreement is typically used to determine the division of assets upon a divorce. Our team of Mound divorce attorneys will help sort through the division of assets in a prenup and determine if the agreement is legal under Minnesota law.

If you are interested in signing a prenuptial agreement before marriage, our team of family law attorneys can also lead you through that process.

Spousal maintenance is a payment from one spouse to the other during or after the divorce. This is done with the purpose of supporting that spouse. Spousal maintenance can be temporary or permanent. Our team of Mound divorce attorneys will fight for the best possible result for you. The court will take into consideration certain factors before determining the amount of spousal maintenance. These include:

Length of marriage
Physical health of spouses
Career advancements or sacrifices
Financial resources and needs of spouses

In the instance of dependent children being involved, determining child custody can be emotionally challenging for parents. Rest assured, the court will always rule in favor of whichever arrangement is in the best interest of the children. Parents can come to an agreement between themselves or let the court decide. The court will determine legal custody, physical custody, as well as parenting time. Again, this is always with the best interests of the children in mind.

Parenting time refers to the amount of time each parent spends with the child. A parenting time schedule can be agreed upon between the parents or it can be determined by the court. The court will consider the best interests of the child when making its decision.

As your legal counsel, we will work to protect the best interests of you and your child. Our attorneys are time-tested experts in mediation and can often facilitate a child visitation schedule without the involvement of the court.

If a majority of parenting time is given to one person, the other parent will likely have to make child support payments. Child support payments are used toward:

Clothing
Housing
Food
Transportation
Medical insurance
Education

Child support payments will usually end once the child turns 18 years old, unless other provisions have been agreed upon previously or extraordinary circumstances exist.

At M. Sue Wilson, we know going through a divorce is difficult and changing living situations can be stressful. We also believe that it is of the utmost importance for both spouses to live in separate spaces during the divorce process. This is especially true when children are involved. Our divorce attorneys will help guide you through the process of separating physical spaces. Whether you wish to remain in your home or find a new one, we are here to help.
