Many people facing family law issues wonder whether their case requires an experienced attorney or if they can handle it on their own. However, the truth is that family law issues are rarely simple, and attempting to manage a case by yourself is frequently more trouble than you might expect. Small mistakes in these cases can have lasting consequences on your finances, your future, and your children.
A family law attorney can do the following:
While you may be concerned about the cost of legal representation, attempting to handle the case on your own may be costlier. An experienced attorney offers a distinct strategic advantage when pursuing a favorable outcome, and that outcome can weigh heavily on your financial future.

Family law covers a wide range of legal issues. Our attorneys serving New Prague have experience handling the entire spectrum of these cases in Scott County, including:
Divorce can be one of the most stressful, emotional, challenging experience of a person’s life. Our attorneys can lead you through the process, whether the divorce is amicable or highly contentious. We understand how Scott County courts view divorce, and what it takes to achieve a favorable outcome for you and your family.
Property Division
Under Minnesota law, property is supposed to be divided fairly but not necessarily equally in a divorce. Our attorneys will meticulously identify all marital property and debts, and value all assets, so that property division actually follows that doctrine and your financial future is protected.
Few family law issues are as emotional or impactful for New Prague families as child custody disputes. Judges in Scott County Family Court base custody decisions on the best interests of the child, and our attorneys are committed to supporting that ideal by helping to craft custody arrangements that work for both your children and your family as a whole.
Child Support
Child support is designed to make sure children receive the financial resources they need to thrive, but determining the appropriate amount and ensuring that the support is provided is often more complicated than that. Our attorneys help New Prague parents establish, modify, or enforce support orders.
Guardianships
Guardianships can be essential for families caring for aging relatives or loved ones with special needs. Our law firm assists clients in establishing guardianships through Scott County courts, helping families protect their loved ones in a way that preserves dignity and provides necessary care.
Alimony
Whether you’re seeking financial support after a divorce or being asked to provide it, our attorneys can help you handle Minnesota’s complicated alimony rules. We’ll carefully examine various factors, including income, length of marriage, and lifestyle prior to divorce, to seek a fair and reasonable outcome.
Estate Planning
Estate planning is crucial for anyone looking to protect both their family’s future and their legacy. We regularly help New Prague clients create wills and trusts that accurately reflect their wishes and see to it that their loved ones are taken care of, no matter what the future holds.
Probate
When a loved one passes away, the legal challenges of handling the estate can bring stress to an already difficult time. Our experienced attorneys help manage probate proceedings in Scott County courts, helping clients to feel confident that the estate is being handled with care and efficiency.
Prenuptial Agreements
More couples today are choosing to start their marriages with the clarity of a prenuptial agreement. These agreements set expectations about assets and finances that can help protect both spouses if divorce occurs. Our attorneys draft and review prenups tailored to Minnesota law so you can begin your marriage with peace of mind.
Adoption
Adoption can be as complicated and challenging as it is rewarding. That’s why it’s crucial to have an experienced family law attorney by your side as you look to adopt, whether it’s a stepchild, relative, or through an agency.
Family law matters can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to face them alone. At Jaspers, Moriarty & Wetherille, P.A., we offer comprehensive, compassionate legal services to all New Prague residents, whether you’re looking to close an old chapter, start a new one, or plan for the next one.
