Our Family Law Practice
Our Minneapolis-St. Paul family law lawyers assist clients with a wide range of family law matters, including:
-
Divorce — We guide clients through the process of obtaining an uncontested or contested divorce. Our attorneys help clients pursue amicable solutions through alternative forms of dispute resolution such as collaborative law or mediation. However, when it becomes necessary, we are not afraid to stand up for the rights of our clients in the courtroom.
- Child custody issues and disputes — We help clients through the process of gaining or modifying custody, whether sole, joint, legal, or physical. Our attorneys can assist with the resolution of custody disputes as part of a divorce or as a separate action.
- Visitation rights, schedules and parenting time — We help clients create comprehensive parenting plans and visitation schedules, taking into account the special needs of your child, a parent's work schedule and other key factors.
- Child support — In Minnesota, child support guidelines provide a formula to calculate child support. We provide guidance and advice to clients about child support guidelines and how they will affect payments.
- Division of property — In a divorce, marital property is divided equitably between the spouses. Marital property includes assets and debts acquired during the marriage such as retirement assets, real estate, credit card debt, mortgages, business interests and other assets. Our lawyers assist clients with assessing and valuing a wide range of assets, debts and interests for division.
- Spousal maintenance — Depending on the length of the marriage and the needs of the parties, the court may award different types of spousal maintenance, including permanent, lump sum, temporary and rehabilitative alimony. Our attorneys advise clients regarding the types of alimony available and which type may apply in their situation.
- Paternity actions — We represent mothers seeking to establish paternity in order to secure support for their children. Additionally, we represent fathers in paternity actions who wish to secure child custody or visitation rights.
- Post-divorce modifications — If there has been a substantial change in circumstances, such as the loss of a job or remarriage, we can assist with the modification of a court order. This could include changes to child support, child custody, parenting time and spousal maintenance.
Thomsen Nybeck's family law practice also encompasses aspects of matrimonial law, such as the drafting of antenuptial agreements, also known as prenuptial agreements, or new postnuptial agreements.
