Divorce Settlement, Divorce Decree, Divorce Custody

Divorce SettlementMany divorces do not require an attorney to settle your differences and obtain a divorce decree. I can prepare all necessary documents you request typed, for you to file, and answer all administrative questions. If you require access to an attorney to answer legal questions, this is provided at no additional cost to you. Actual court appearance time is provided at a reduced rate.

 

 

Child Support Calculator

Divorce Child Support CalculatorFor a divorce with minor children you must calculate child support and include this information with the  PDF files provided. The simplest way to determine child support can be calculated by using the child support calculator form made available by the State of Minnesota. Please click on the calculator or the link above to access the form. Clients using Affordable Court Service's Divorce Program will need to print out and submit the information along with the questionnaire forms above.

    Divorce
    Facts and Information

  • Divorce
    Statistics

    60% of marriages in the United States end in divorce and 66% to 75% of all divorces are initiated by the female partner. Children are the most important asset in a marriage, and the partner who expects to get sole custody is by far the most likely to file for divorce.

  • No-Fault
    Divorce

    Couples shown to have lived apart for more than 180 days who have resided in the state of Minnesota for as many days do not need to prove grounds in order to get a divorce. They may simply state that there is an "irrevocable breakdown" of the marriage.

  • Child Custody

    In Minnesota joint custody is considered the best as long as both parents are in agreement and visitation rights are often awarded to the non custodial parent.
