Protecting Your Rights
If you are an unmarried person, you may have certain rights regarding child custody, visitation rights, child support and jointly-owned property. However, you may need legal assistance in order to secure and exercise those rights.
At Green Law Office, P.A., we provide reality-based advice and assertive representation to unmarried people. If you need help with a legal problem involving custody, parenting time, child support or division of property, contact our firm.
Child Custody, Parenting Time and Child Support
Under Minnesota law, an unmarried mother has sole custody of a child unless a court determines otherwise. An unmarried father must go to court to obtain custody or parenting time rights. Even if the father does not have custody or visitation rights, he may still be required to pay child support.
Green Law Office, P.A., has extensive experience in child custody and parenting time issues, having successfully represented clients in numerous cases. These have included unmarried mothers seeking to preserve their custody rights and unmarried fathers seeking to obtain those rights. We will work diligently to protect your interests and achieve your goals.
Our firm also represents unmarried mothers and unmarried fathers in matters involving child support.
Division of Property
When an unmarried couple splits up, there are usually financial consequences to deal with as well as emotional ones. For example, what happens to a jointly-owned house? If you own a home together with your partner, there may be one or more options for dividing the equity on a fair basis even in the face of declining real estate values. Family law attorney Pamela L. Green has a comprehensive understanding of the legal, financial and practical issues involved in this decision and can advise you regarding your rights and legal options.
