One of the most common issues during a divorce is deciding on custody and related issues. As you work through your divorce in Minnesota, you may wonder if the court really must be involved in this process. In most cases, you can likely work out parenting time between you and your spouse. However, the Minnesota Judicial Branch notes that in custody cases involving paternity issues or domestic abuse, the court may have to step in.
Can you be punished for not paying child support?
You and your spouse have reached the end of your divorce and everything is being finalized from child support agreements to separation of shared assets. During this time, you may be given a requirement to pay so much money each month towards the expenses of your children. So, what do you do if you do not want to pay these payments? Are there punishments in Minnesota? The answer is yes. Your decision to be proactive about paying child support and consistently in paying on time will keep you from getting into legal trouble.
Becoming a model father
One of the biggest challenges Minnesota fathers face in the aftermath of a custody agreement is making the absolute most of their time with their children. In fact, we find that a custody or visitation dispute serves as an impetus to become the best father possible for many of our clients. Whatever specific incident encourages the change— whether it is the stress of a prolonged divorce or a close call regarding custody— we are happy when our work at Huson Law Firm, PLLC., provides fathers with new motivation to connect with their children.
