Divorce in Minnesota is referred to as Dissolution of Marriage. Minnesota is a no-fault divorce state, meaning that no reason other than irretrievable breakdown in the marriage relationship is required to get a divorce. Divorces can be uncontested or contested. Mediation is also an option if the spouses wish to avoid litigation proceedings.

Child Custody
In most cases, legal custody of the children is awarded to both parents in a dissolution of marriage. However, one parent often retains primary physical custody, while the other is granted reasonable parenting time. Our Child Custody Lawyers can help you fight for what's important.
Child Support
The parent who retains primary physical custody of the children is usually entitled to monthly support payments from the non-custodial parent. Child support is generally determined by the parties’ incomes, the number of children, and the cost of health insurance and child care, as well as the amount of parenting time that each parent enjoys with the children.
Minnesota Child Support
Minnesota courts prefer that spouses work out child support payments on their own. However, if the spouses are not able to work things out for themselves, the Minnesota courts will step in. Minnesota courts consider three types of support when figuring out child support. These are basic support, actual costs for things like housing, food and clothing and insurance costs for medical and dental insurance, and costs of child care. Child support is awarded using the requirements under Minnesota Statutes 518A.34.
The court always takes into consideration the best interest of the child when awarding Child Support in Minnesota. Klun provides expert advice concerning child support orders.

Spousal Maintenance / Alimony
Spousal maintenance, or alimony, is financial support that one spouse provides to the other after marriage dissolution. Spousal maintenance may be granted temporarily or permanently to a spouse who has far less earning capacity than the other. However, several other factors may be considered to determine the need for spousal maintenance.
Minnesota Spousal Support/Alimony
Spousal support, also referred to as alimony or spousal maintenance, is payments that are made to one spouse to keep their standard of living at the same level as when the spouses were married. Spousal maintenance can be permanent or temporary, depending on the circumstances of the spouses. Minnesota courts prefer not to decide how to award alimony. Minnesota courts prefer that the spouses work out spousal maintenance and other divorce arrangements themselves, but they will get involved if the spouses are not able to work it out for themselves. Spousal maintenance calculations are made pursuant to Minnesota Statute 518.552.
How much spousal maintenance will be awarded is a complicated calculation. Klun provides expert advice concerning these and other family law matters.
