Divorce Resources
Here are some of the resources I share with clients if they are considering or getting started with a divorce process. It is not exhaustive, but gives you a place to start.
Legal Stuff
You’re about to learn a whole new language along with a whole new collection of acronyms. This is a helpful glossary to get you started from the ABA (American Bar Association).
Family law is different in each state. This is a link to information for each state in the US. A link for Canada is below.

Finances
Finances are not only the top thing couples fight about, but they are one of the top stressors in getting a divorce. This link will give you some basics to get you started.
This link provides information specifically on how Minnesota treats debt and property division in Minnesota. Your state may vary. You can find similar information for your state through this site as well.
Parenting
This link gives an explanation between “legal” and “physical” custody of children for Minnesota. Again, every state is different so you will want to research your specific state’s rules.
This link goes to the Minnesota courts website and explains in further detail the requirements not only for establishing parenting time but also changing it. Your state will likely have a similar site.
