The family law attorneys at the Saint Paul law office of Krug & Zupke, P.C., understand the importance of protecting Minnesota families. We know the value our clients put on relationships with children and loved ones. We work hard to get the best outcome for you through negotiating with your spouse.

Your divorce will be more complicated if you have property (real estate, automobiles, vacation property, pensions, jewelry, etc.) or children.

Many cases start out with disputes, but then the parties are able to reach an agreement without going to trial.

We can help with all issues related to divorce and family law in Minnesota:

• Divorce:
  Assistance from an experienced divorce lawyer can help you make informed decision on important issues such as support payments (alimony), custody, visitation, support, and modification orders. When possible, these issues are settled between the two parties without going to court. We can help you determine what is important and reasonable and help you get it.
  
• Child custody and parenting time:
  Divorcing parents are often concerned that they may not be as close to their children as they once were. We help Minnesota families create the child custody and parenting plans that work best for them. Whether you are concerned with the custody arrangement of a current divorce, or would like to modify your custody arrangement from a previous divorce, we can help.
  
• Child support:
  Our attorneys have in-depth knowledge of current Minnesota divorce and child support laws. We can help you understand how you may be affected by a new law in Minnesota. The law provides that as of January 1, 2008, all existing child support orders may be reviewed and changed to reflect the incomes of both parents, and other expenses like childcare and healthcare. Former laws only took into account the earnings of the paying parent, so this change may have a significant effect on many Minnesota parents.
  
• Spousal Maintenance (Alimony)
  Minnesota courts use spousal support to discuss support paid to an ex-spouse. Several issues effect the amount of spousal support you will receive / are obligated to pay. These issues included, but are not limited to: need for spousal support, ability to pay, length of marriage to establish "entitlement", standard of living during the marriage, living expenses, etc. We can help you understand how Minnesota spousal support law affects you.
  
• Property settlement:
  Minnesota courts divide marital property and debts equitably, which does not necessarily mean that they are divided half-and-half. Couples often disagree on which property is "marital," as well as its value. We work closely with clients to make sure that their interests are protected during the property settlement.
