Minnesota Uncontested Divorce
Not every divorce needs to be a drawn out, expensive process. In many cases, the parties may be able to seek an uncontested divorce. An uncontested divorce is where there are no disagreements between you and your spouse over:
- financial related issues like – child support, division of marital property or spousal support; and
- custody related issues like – legal custody, physical custody, and any parenting time.
You may begin the divorce thinking that your case will be uncontested, but then find out later that your spouse has decided to contest (“challenge”) the case. If this happens, you will want to contact a lawyer to help you through the contested divorce process.
Let our office assist you by guiding you through this process at minimal cost. It’s worth knowing that your divorce is being done correctly and will be approved by the court.
Benefits of Uncontested Divorce
When you work with a flat fee divorce lawyer for an uncontested divorce, the parties remain in charge of their own lives and in charge of all of the critical decisions regarding their divorce. They retain control of how their marriage ends, not a judge who is randomly assigned that doesn’t know them or their situation. The parties are also able to:
- Decide what is fair and reasonable parenting time;
- Decide how you are going to divide your property, your retirement accounts, your debt; and
- Decide how to deal with spousal support, child support, and tax implications.
The uncontested divorce process in Minnesota is by far the most straightforward and least expensive way to end your marriage. You’ll spend less money on legal fees, less time on discovery and hidden assets, and more time focusing on more productive issues like maintaining healthy relationships with your children and other important issues.
A flat fee is not possible in every case. However, the Sullivan Law Office can help find creative solutions to common problems.
