Separation of Marriage

Minneapolis Separation and Dissolution of Marriage Lawyers

Marriages do not always result in "happily ever after." However, there is an alternative to divorce: separation. Separation can be a temporary agreement while a husband and wife work on reconciliation, or it can be a permanent arrangement for the parties to live separately without formally divorcing. We can help you determine which option is right for you.

At Kathleen M. Newman + Associates, P.A. in Minneapolis, Minnesota, our family law attorneys work with couples in crisis to navigate a variety of marital problems and their impact on businesses, income, lifestyles and children. From separation to mediation to divorce, we help clients meet their personal goals while minimizing financial or emotional hardship. Contact us to discuss your situation.

Protecting Your Interests and Goals

As with divorce, agreements for separation of marriage must be thorough in addressing the issues of life during and after the marriage for each spouse:

  • Who will live in the family home?
  • Who gets custody of the kids? The pets?
  • How will the cars be divided? The bank accounts?
  • How much child support and alimony will be required?

To best protect your interests, future and personal goals, it is important to consult with an experienced family law attorney such as Kathleen M. Newman. With years of experience in volatile domestic relations matters and high stakes financial crises, she has built a record of success in and out of the courtroom. Through mediation, negotiation and litigation, she aggressively advocates on your behalf. 

"Kathleen is pretty direct, but I also feel like I can trust her. From the beginning, we could communicate about any issue and it wasn't uncomfortable. She is very good at the interpersonal skills that I found lacking in other attorneys." -Charlene J.
