Our Services

At Saxton Peterson Law Firm, we pride ourselves on our ability to handle various family law issues with professionalism and compassion. Our services include:

Divorce/Dissolution

Divorce, or dissolution of a marriage, is a legal process that ends a marriage and involves various aspects such as parenting time, child support, spousal maintenance, distribution of assets, distribution of debts, and pension/retirement accounts. Minnesota is a no-fault state, meaning that the parties only need to show that there is an irretrievable breakdown in the marriage relationship, and there is no reasonable prospect for reconciliation. Our attorneys have the knowledge and experience to guide clients through the divorce process, ensuring that their rights and interests are protected.

Uncontested Dissolution

In uncontested dissolutions, both parties are in agreement on all issues, including assets, debts, child custody, parenting time, and child support. Our attorneys can assist clients in preparing and filing the necessary paperwork, ensuring that all legal requirements are met.

Paternity

In cases of unwed parents, the mother has sole custodial rights over the child. Before the father can establish his right to parenting time, he must bring an action in court establishing his paternity. Our attorneys can provide legal representation and guidance in establishing paternity and obtaining parenting time.

Maintenance (Alimony)

Maintenance, or alimony, is a financial support payment from one ex-spouse to the other during or following dissolution. The court may order maintenance to be paid for a specific length of time or indefinitely. Our attorneys can assist clients in negotiating and agreeing on maintenance or in presenting their case to the judge to determine maintenance.

Marital Property Division

Marital property division pertains to the equitable division of all the parties' property, including assets such as pension plans. Our attorneys have the experience and knowledge to ensure that clients receive their fair share of the property and assets.
