About us
A contested divorce, the spouses are unable to agree upon one or more issues that are necessary to complete the divorce. Many times, issues that cannot be agreed upon at the beginning of a case are able to be resolved during the divorce process. Through expert analysis, mediation and attorney negotiation most issues can be resolved without the necessity for a trial. Once an agreement is reached on all issues a divorce can be finalized by presenting the agreement to the Court for approval. Sometimes a case cannot reach an agreement and it is necessary to have a trial. In Minnesota a divorce trial does not have a jury. A judge will make the decisions to conclude the divorce.
If it is necessary to proceed to trial, it is important to have an experienced litigator and the proper resources to maximize your chance of success. These resources may include expert witnesses and appropriate evidence that is relevant to the issues that are contested. If you are facing a divorce and would like to speak with an experienced and effective family law attorney to understand your options for moving forward, Jeff Priest can help.
