Practical family law representation for families in Washington County, Dakota County, Burnsville, Eagan, and Woodbury, MN

At Appelhof, Pfeifer & Hart, we offer family law representation in the following practice areas:

• Contested Divorce — When divorce becomes adversarial, you need to be confident that you’ve hired a firm that will go toe-to-toe with the other side to defend your rights.
• Division of Assets — Dissolving a marriage can mean extricating complicated financial relationships. We have experience with dividing assets equitably between the parties and coming to a fair settlement.
• Child Custody — Which parent will have physical custody and which will have visitation can cause a tremendous amount of conflict. Our attorneys understand how to work through the inevitable conflicts that arise when families are trying to sort out  parenting time schedules fairly, arranging pick-up and drop-off locations, holiday schedules and all the other issues that come from dividing time with the children.
• Spousal Maintenance — With all of the factors involved in the issue of spousal maintenance, working with a knowledgeable divorce attorney can help you work with the court to come to a fair and appropriate arrangement for both parties.
• Grandparents' Rights — Grandparents want to continue to have access to their grandchildren with whom they have established a bonded relationship. We support our clients in exercising their rights to be a meaningful part of their grandchildren’s lives.
• Third Party Custody — Minnesota law recognizes that someone other than a child's parents can provide a safe, loving and stable living environment that will be in the best interests of the child. Our attorneys can help if you are looking to pursue legal custody of a minor child.
