Comprehensive Divorce Services
At Lesch Law Firm, our lawyer represents individuals facing difficult circumstances in the wake of broken relationships. Whether you need to file for divorce or your partner has already filed, having a St. Paul divorce lawyer by your side will make sure that you have the guidance and advice that you need throughout the entire process.
There are two different types of divorce: collaborative and contested. Collaborative divorce involves partners agreeing on matters such as child custody and child support. Mediation isn’t always necessary. The couple creates an agreement, allowing them to finalize the divorce quickly.
A contested divorce involves alternative dispute resolution, such as mediation. Sometimes, a divorce can start out as collaborative – or uncontested – but then become contested when the couple finds something they disagree on. Regardless of the type of divorce, our attorney is here to help.
Guidance Through The Entire Divorce Process In Minnesota
When you have a family law attorney helping you, you will receive guidance where it is needed as well as the proper representation. Our lawyer will also take care of the complicated paperwork and ensure that it is filed on time.
Some of the divorce-related matters he can help you with include:
- Child support
- Child custody
- Parenting time
- Spousal maintenance
- Asset and property division
Our attorney can guide you through the mediation process and any other type of alternative dispute resolution. Sometimes, third parties must be brought in to help determine child custody, the value of assets and much more. He can help you through all of that as well.
Fighting For Fair Child Custody Arrangements
Child custody disputes can be highly emotional and challenging. Minnesota uses the “best interests of the child standard,” where a court-appointed evaluator assesses various factors to recommend a custody arrangement. As your legal representation, our lawyer will seek to present the reality of any related factors to seek an arrangement that allows both parents the time they deserve with their children.
He also takes the time to learn about the unique needs in each of these cases, including the child’s cultural and religious ties, the mental state of each parent, the child’s preferences and more. His goal in these matters is to pursue a resolution that upholds the needs of our clients and their children.
Seeking Child Support That Reflects The Truth
Child support is a crucial aspect of ensuring that a child’s needs are met. In Minnesota, child support amounts are determined based on both parents’ incomes and the noncustodial parent’s parenting time. Our lawyer is prepared to gather all the evidence and information needed to establish or modify a child support order to reflect the actual needs of the child and your financial capabilities.
Whether you are looking to modify a support order to reflect your ex-spouse getting remarried or you losing your job, or you want to be sure that the child support order you receive is not weaponized against you, our attorney is here for you. He will explore all options when seeking the results you deserve while minimizing the complication and time needed to earn that outcome.
Focusing On You
All in all, you can expect the focus of our St. Paul family law lawyer to be on you. Attorney John Lesch can help you navigate through your divorce as you try to secure the results that you are looking for. If you need a specific asset, he can help you fight for that asset. If you want a particular custody arrangement, he can guide you through that process, increasing the chances of you obtaining the result you want. This is not a process you should face alone, so he will be there for you every step of the way.
