Property Division to Ensure Financial Stability

In order to do so, your divorce attorney will work with you to identify the marital assets that must be divided, and to properly value those assets. In the case of pensions, retirement accounts, real estate, and executive compensation packages, this can sometimes be complicated.

Alimony (Spousal Maintenance /Support)
Spousal maintenance or support, also sometimes commonly called "alimony," is also determined at the time of a divorce. It is a monthly payment made by one former spouse to the other during a divorce or after a divorce in order to balance the standard of living. Alimony is gender neutral - it can be given to the wife or the husband, depending upon the differences in their financial situations.
Spousal maintenance (Alimony) may be temporary, giving a stay-at-home spouse time to get job training and find a job. Spousal support may be permanent in some situations such as where a spouse is disabled or elderly, or when there has been a long-term marriage.

In Minnesota, the decision of where a child will live and who will make legal decisions for the child are always based upon the best interests of the child.
