DIVORCE & FAMILY LAW
Lake Harriet Law Office & Mediation Services, LLC provides experienced, personalized legal representation in Divorce & Family Law cases. A certain amount of conflict and disagreement is present in almost every case. Most often the conflict is related to custody of the children, parenting time, financial issues (including the division of assets and debt), spousal maintenance (alimony) and property division.
In some cases, mediation can be used to minimize conflict while reducing costs and allowing the parties to come to agreement on some or all contested issues (instead of litigating the issues in Family Court).
In other cases, zealous legal representation in court is the best approach (especially if mediation has not produced a settlement on the contested issues).
If the parties can't agree on how to resolve certain issues the court will make decisions for the parties. Each Divorce & Family Law case is unique and the legal approach taken will vary depending on the facts of the case and the needs and interests of the client.
Experienced, client-focused legal representation is provided in the following areas:
- Divorce
- Collaborative Divorce
- Child Custody & Support
- Parenting Time
- Financial Issues
- Post-Decree Issues
