FAQ's About Family Law in Minneapolis
-
Eligibility for spousal support (alimony) in Minnesota depends on several factors. These factors include the financial resources of the requesting spouse, the standard of living established during the marriage, the duration of the marriage, and each spouse’s contribution to the marriage, among others. The court evaluates these factors to determine if spousal support is necessary and fair.
-
Yes, in Minnesota, mediation is often required in contested divorces before the case proceeds to trial. Mediation allows both parties to negotiate and potentially reach a settlement on contested issues, with the assistance of a neutral third party (the mediator). Mediation is often not required when there is evidence of domestic abuse between the parties.
-
To file for divorce in Minneapolis, you or your spouse must have lived in Minnesota for at least 180 days before filing. The process begins by filing a “Petition for Dissolution of Marriage” with the court. The responding party is then served with the divorce papers, and they have 30 days to respond If the responding party does not respond, the petitioning party may seek a default divorce. If both parties agree on the terms of the divorce, it may proceed as an uncontested divorce with a joint filing. Otherwise, the divorce will be contested, involving court hearings and possibly a trial.
