Lakeville, Minnesota Divorce Lawyer

Divorce involves a number of financial and legal issues that must be understood before any final settlement between couples can be agreed to. In order to avoid common confusions and misconceptions regarding the division of property, assets, and debt in divorce proceedings, the Dwire Law Offices thoroughly reviews the financial situation of our clients in order to determine how best to protect the interest of them and their children. Since most couples have joint bank accounts, credit cards, and loans they're responsible for, we take extra care in making sure our clients aren't saddled with a disproportional amount of debt. Our divorce attorneys explain child custody and child support requirements, preparing information and documents in support of your motion regarding both.

If you aren't sure what your rights are in a divorce or how best to protect them, contact the Dwire Law Offices today. Located in Lakeville, Minnesota, we represent clients throughout the southern Twin Cities metro area, including Burnsville, Apple Valley, Farmington, and Faribault.

Preparing for Divorce -- The Importance of Financial Information

In order to ensure your financial situation is resolved fairly and appropriately, it's important to provide the following kinds of information to your lawyer:

• Tax returns
  
  
• Credit card information
  
  
• Bank account statements
  
  
• Mortgage and loan information
  
  
• Retirement plan / 401k statements
  
  
• Assessment on all properties owned
  
  
• Information on any closely held businesses

Avoiding Bitter, Lengthy Divorce Battles

At the Dwire Law Offices, we encourage clients to enter mediation in settling the terms of their divorce. Mediation allows couples to determine the division of property, child custody arrangements, visitation rights, and other family law issues according to terms mutually agreeable to the parties involved. Consequently, mediation puts you in charge of your own future rather than a judge who may impose terms neither you nor your ex-spouse find appealing. As your divorce attorney, we identify common ground, propose financial and custody arrangements in everyone's best interests, avoiding costly, bitter divorce battles in the long run.
