Common Questions
FAQs
How long does a divorce take in Minnesota?
Uncontested divorces may conclude in 30–90 days. Contested cases often take 6–12 months, depending on disputed issues, case complexity, and current court scheduling.
What is a no-fault divorce?
Minnesota is a no-fault state. Either spouse may file, citing irretrievable breakdown of the marriage, meaning no proof of fault or wrongdoing is legally required.
How is property divided after divorce in Minnesota?
Under MN Statute § 518.58, marital property is divided equitably, which means fairly based on circumstances, not necessarily a strict 50/50 split between spouses.
Can a divorce agreement be changed later?
Yes. The courts allow post-decree modifications to spousal support, child support, or custody arrangements when a substantial change in circumstances is properly demonstrated.
Can I file for divorce in Minnesota if my spouse lives in another state?
Yes. If you have lived in Minnesota for at least 180 days, you may file here regardless of where your spouse currently resides or is domiciled.
