Getting a Divorce: What You Should Consider

Marital property is any property that is acquired during a marriage, from homes and cars to furniture and shared savings. In Minnesota, marital property is divided equitably, meaning it should be divided fairly, but not necessarily evenly. You and your spouse will need to determine how to divide your assets and debts. The division of marital property can be a complex process, but we can help by advocating for the most favorable outcome on the divided property.

Spousal maintenance or alimony is a payment from one spouse to the other to help maintain their standard of living after divorce. In Minnesota, there are two types of spousal maintenance: temporary and permanent. Temporary spousal maintenance is an amount of money paid every month for a fixed term. Temporary maintenance could last for a few months or for many years. Permanent spousal maintenance is an amount of money paid each month with no fixed end date.

The amount and duration of spousal maintenance is determined using a number of factors, including the length of the marriage, standard of living, physical health of each spouse, and individual earning capacity. Should you need financial support after your divorce, our talented Victoria divorce attorneys can help you seek the spousal maintenance you need.

In Minnesota, there are two types of child custody: physical custody and legal custody. Physical custody refers to where the children will live. The amount of time a child spends with each parent is called “parenting time.” Parenting time is typically given to a parent even if they do not have physical custody. Legal custody refers to who will make decisions about the child's education, healthcare, and extracurricular activities.

In many cases, the court will grant joint physical and legal custody while in some cases only one spouse may be granted full legal and physical custody. If you are seeking child custody, we can help you by advocating for the best interest of your child.

Child visitation is referred to as parenting time. Parenting time is the schedule that outlines when the parents will spend time with the child(ren). Parents can work together to create a parenting time schedule that works for their family. If parents are unable to come to an agreement, the court can determine a fixed parenting time schedule that will determine when each parent can be with the child. The court will always take into account the best interest of the child. The court may order supervised visitation for a parent who is unable to safely care for a child.

Child support is a monetary amount paid by one parent to the other to help cover the costs of raising the child. In Minnesota, child support is based on a number of factors, including the income of each parent, number of children, and parenting time schedule. If you are seeking child support, our compassionate Victoria divorce lawyer will help you by advocating for an amount that is in the best interest of your child.

If you are going through a divorce, the process of you or your partner moving out can be a complicated and emotional situation, especially for children. However, it may be best for one of you to move out of the family home. If you have children, you will need to consider their needs when deciding where to live. That's why it is important to consult with an experienced divorce firm like M. Sue Wilson Law Offices to ensure that you are making the best decision for your situation.
