• I want to keep our divorce out of court. Can I do this?

  • No.  If you want a legally binding and enforceable divorce agreement, it is always required that the Court be involved and approve and sign off on any written agreement of the parties.

 

• Can my child decide which parent to live with after reaching a certain age?

  • No.  In Minnesota, children can NEVER have the exclusive decision ability on which parent they will live with, that is the Court’s decision.

• My ex did not pay me the lump sum cash amount I was awarded in the terms of my divorce decree. Now what?

  • What your next move is depends on what is stated in the terms of your decree in the event of nonpayment.  Is there a maqrital lien in your favor in the decree?  You are limited to debtor-creditor remedies if the decree fails to secure the award or otherwise does not5 address in the event of nonpayment.
