It's time to disentangle your lives through the divorce process; you need attorney Sunday Harholdt looking out for your interests. Sunday will provide you with trusted counsel throughout. Courts in Minnesota typically require the parties to attempt settlement of the contested issues before requesting a decision from the judge. Judges consider many factors when it comes to divorce. Please note that legal advice must be tailored to the facts of your situation. Speaking with an attorney about the details of your situation is an important first step in your divorce proceeding.

ASSETS & DEBTS
Property division will be addressed, including debt division. Your attorney should ensure that you have the means to move on, protect your equitable share of the marital assets, and help you identify nonmarital claims to your property, such as real estate, retirement, business interests, stocks and other investment accounts, firearms, jewelry, art, and other collections.

NON-MARITAL PROPERTY
If you have a prenuptial agreement, owned certain assets prior to the marriage, received an inheritance during the marriage, inform your attorney right away - you may have nonmarital property to consider in the divorce. The Court requires research and documentation to show that property is non-marital in nature.

SPOUSAL SUPPORT
If one spouse cannot support themselves after the separation, or never worked during the marriage, or in other situations, monthly spousal support payments and need-based attorney’s may be a consideration.

CHILD RELATED ISSUES
Your children’s best interests come first. Child related issues include legal and physical custody, the parenting time schedule and child support. You may need to request a temporary court order for custody and parenting time while the divorce proceedings are pending. Some parents attempt to withhold the children from the other parent. There may be valid concerns that result in a parent’s time with the children being suspended or supervised, particularly if there is physical or mental abuse, or substance abuse involved. If custody and parenting time will be addressed in your divorce proceeding, retaining an attorney is critical. The Court’s custody and parenting time order will impact your children’s future - contact Sunday Harholdt today.

Minnesota recognizes two forms of custody: legal and physical. Custody labels determine a parent’s involvement in their child's life and ability to make decisions on your child's behalf. Sunday Harholdt will protect your fundamental right to raise your children.

The parenting time schedule determines the amount of time you spend with your child, and your child’s routine with the other parent.

Your child deserves your involvement, and to have time with you. If the other parent is withholding your child from you, minimizing your time with your child, refusing to give you information about your child’s healthcare or schooling, or refusing to involve you in major decisions that impact your child’s well-being, it’s time to go to court. Get in touch with Sunday right away.

There are typically monthly child support payments between parents who never married, or are separated or divorced. Many factors go into the court’s calculation of child support. Sunday Harholdt will walk you through factors impacting child support.

Whether child support needs to be established or modified, get in touch right away. The sooner you file, the sooner the court implements the changes, if the court agrees.

When a parent endangers their child, the other parent may need to request emergency or expedited relief from the court. If you need to get your request in front of a judge right away, get in touch with Sunday Harholdt - right away.

Grandparents should be involved in their grandchild’s life. If the parents disagree, or if a parent is incarcerated, has passed away, or whose whereabouts are unknown, grandparents may find themselves in a position where they need to file in court to request time with their grandchild. Sunday Harholdt has experience gaining grandparents time with their progeny; contact her today.

Unforeseen circumstances can lead to the need to request third party custody for intertested third parties or de facto custodians.
