Helping clients navigate complex family law matters — including divorce, child custody, alimony, and more — throughout the Twin Cities metro area.
Most people do not ever plan to end up in front of a judge, especially with someone they once loved on the opposite side of the courtroom. Sadly, this is an unfortunate reality that many in Minnesota face. Family law cases can be especially emotional and difficult to navigate, which is why it is so important to have legal representation you can trust.
Family law is a broad category that encompasses many types of cases. In general, if a case involves divorce or children, it falls within the family court's jurisdiction. Here are some examples of cases that TVA Law Office can help with:
Grandparents' rights cases can be complex and challenging cases to bring before the family courts. However, Minnesota is one of the states that have specific provisions allowing for grandparents' rights. This means that a family law attorney may be able to help you gain court-ordered access to your grandchildren even if the parents are refusing. If you are not sure if you have grounds to file a grandparents' rights case in the Hennepin County courts, TVA Law Office can help.
If you are still considering divorce and have not made a final decision yet, you may wonder if you should wait until you are ready to file to talk to an attorney. However, the general rule of thumb is: the sooner, the better. You do not have to know exactly what you want to do to start the process, and having a consultation with an attorney can actually help you make well-informed decisions. A family law attorney will help you understand all of your options and explain the pros and cons of each, so you can move forward — or not — with accurate information.
If you are already in the middle of a family law case, such as a divorce or custody battle, and you have not spoken to an attorney yet, you will want to do that as soon as possible. While many people try to navigate the family courts without legal representation, a knowledgeable lawyer can be an invaluable ally when you are facing difficult or high-conflict situations.
While it is always a better idea to involve a family law attorney at the beginning of your proceedings, if you tried to represent yourself and are unhappy with the outcome, a family law attorney may be able to help you appeal the decision. An attorney can review your case and the judge's decision and help you understand how the decision came to be and what your options are. Keep in mind that there is a finite timeline on how long you have to appeal a judge's decisions, so it is important to talk to a family law attorney as soon as possible.
