Not much about a divorce feels comfortable when you are going through it. However, you truly can consider yourself fortunate if you have an amicable or uncontested divorce because it allows you to navigate the divorce process in less time, with less stress, and less financial and emotional cost. An amicable or uncontested divorce in Minnesota is one in which both parties agree to the terms of the divorce including the division of marital property (assets and debts), child custody and parenting time, child support and/or spousal support (also known as alimony). Even when you have an amicable or uncontested divorce, there are many important details to work out. Mediation is the ideal way to complete the process and ensure that you and your soon to be ex-spouse can settle and finalize all aspects of your divorce with the least possible stress for you and your family.
What Issues To Address in an Uncontested Divorce in Minnesota
If you and your soon-to-be ex-spouse are moving toward an uncontested divorce, you may find the process to be less stressful, less expensive, and less time-consuming. Still, the end of a marriage can be a difficult time, so it’s important to take the time to work through the major issues involved in a divorce.
Both you and your spouse must agree on the following:
- How your assets and debts will be divided
- Whether spousal maintenance (allimony) support will be awarded to either party
- If there are minor children, how you will share custody (decision making) and time with children as well as other parenting protocols
- Child support
