Divorce is difficult: emotionally, mentally, and financially. At Kruse Family Law, PLLC, our goal is to achieve the best results for you, while working to minimize the toll that divorce can take. That doesn't mean that things will be painless -- no one can guarantee that -- but we will do our best to help you navigate the process and successfully manage the changes in your life.
In addition to divorce, we handle custody and parenting-time disputes, paternity cases, child support matters, post-decree motions, modifications, and appeals, among other family law issues. Kruse Family Law is also committed to access to justice for divorcing spouses. We recognize that cost is often an issue that keeps people from utilizing the services of a lawyer in the divorce process.

Services
As part of Kruse Family Law's commitment to providing access to justice, we offer "limited scope representation." This allows you to pay for selected specific "unbundled" services, rather than retaining the firm on a more traditional full-representation basis. All unbundled services are offered for a flat fee, so you know up front how much it will cost.
Divorce is always difficult. At Kruse Family Law, our goal is to make it as pain free as possible, while still achieving the results you want. Divorce involves resolving one or more of the following issues: custody and parenting time, child support, property division, spousal maintenance, and attorney fees and costs.
Spousal maintenance, or alimony, refers to payments made from the future earnings of one spouse for the support of the other spouse after a divorce. It is based upon the needs of the spouse seeking maintenance and the ability of the other spouse to pay while still meeting his or her own needs, given the marital standard of living.
Paternity may be established in one of two ways: through a signed Recognition of Parentage, or through a paternity adjudication. A Recognition of Parentage (ROP) is a sworn statement, usually signed by both parents following the child's birth, stating that the man is the father of the baby. To be valid, the ROP must then be filed with the Minnesota Department of Health.
When considering an appeal, it is important to take into account whether the mistake was one of fact or of law and to think about how much discretion the district court has in deciding the issue. At Kruse Family Law, we can help you answer these questions and assess the likelihood of success on appeal.
