I have been practicing entirely family law for over 26 years. Family law became my focus early on just because there were a lot of people who came to my office with those kind of matters. I learned that I liked this area law because I was not afraid of the emotions that go along with it. As a business owner, a mother and a wife, I understand the things parents have to juggle on a daily basis.
Jennifer decided at a young age to pursue a career in the law, telling friends and family members since she was a teenager that she wanted to be a divorce attorney.

Minnesota law provides that a child has the right to be supported by both parents. Child support is the court-ordered monthly dollar amount for the financial support of a child. Minnesota uses a method of calculating child support called "Income Shares." These are Child Support Guidelines that use both parents' gross income, the number of children, and the cost of raising a child at different income levels.
Collaborative divorce is an alternative to traditional, court-based divorce giving you more control by working together with your spouse and professionals. Divorce can be one of the hardest things you do in your life. Whether it's been coming on for awhile or is discovered suddenly, divorce can cause serious damage to other family members and yourself if not handled properly.
Probably one of the scariest decisions you will make in your life is whether to end a marriage. You are sad and anxious. You want to know how long it will take, how much will it cost, will I lose custody of my kids, how will it affect my business or how much will I have to pay my spouse? A divorce, or dissolution of marriage, in Minnesota, is a legal proceeding in the court that finalizes the end of a marriage.
