As part of a divorce, you will need to go through the difficult process dividing the property acquired before and during the marriage. The first step involves a determination of what is "marital" and what is "non-marital. Marital property means property acquired by the parties while married. Child custody can often be one of the most acrimonious and contentious issues in many divorces.
In addition, legal issues related to child custody can arise between people who share a child but no longer have a significant personal or romantic relationship. In either case, it's essential that parents do everything they can do to protect their legal rights with respect to their children.

There are two primary types of divorces, contested and uncontested.
A contested divorce is where the spouses are not able to agree upon a resolution of the issues associated with the divorce.
Uncontested divorce means that the spouses have reached an agreement regarding all of the issues in the divorce.
Not every divorce is a long, expensive process.
In many cases, the parties have reached agreement on all of the issues.
All that is necessary for them is a brief court hearing to make the divorce final.

By law, both parents are obligated to contribute financially to the care and well-being of their children.
In most cases, the payments continue until a child reaches 18 or graduates from high school, whichever is later.
Minnesota has a specific set of guidelines for calculating child support.
The income of each parent is compared and a percentage of the money required to raise a child each month is divided proportionally.
Often the court will examine whether a reduction in the obligor's income was voluntary or involuntary.
