Assisting families with their legal needs
Whether anticipating the joys of adoption or experiencing the pain of marital conflict, we will listen to your needs at Arnold Law and Mediation and help you reach solutions to your legal problems. We can help your family with:

• Adoption
• Divorce
• Paternity
• Prenuptial agreements

• Domestic violence

 
Divorce
Through mediation, litigation or collaborative divorce, we seek to obtain the best possible settlement or judgment for our clients, including fair distribution of assets, division of the marital home, child support payments and child custody rights.
Paternity
Our attorneys understand the unique role science plays in child custody, child visitation and child support cases. A positive result can help you prove your fatherhood so you can reunite with your biological children and affirm your claim to custody and visitation. A paternity test can conclusively prove you are not the father of a child so you can avoid a lifetime of unfairly paying child support. If you are a mother seeking child support, we guide you through the complex court proceedings to legitimize an unwilling father.

Prenuptial agreements
When you marry your beloved, you may not foresee potential problems that can lead to divorce. The lawyers at Arnold Law and Mediation expect the unexpected and draft premarital agreements that protect both spouses' interests and alleviate some of the stress should you ever divorce.
Child protection and termination of parental rights
When Minnesota authorities interfere with your parental rights, you need a zealous advocate who understands the bureaucratic red tape.  Our attorneys are skilled at maneuvering through the complex laws of the state to protect your parental rights and your children’s future.

Elder mediation
With deliberateness and compassion, we facilitate productive communication within families regarding dependence and independence, housing, care giving, gifts, and estate planning. By mediating these issues, families can often avoid expensive, contested conservetorship proceedings and trust and estate litigation.
Adoption
Adopting a child brings happiness to families, but a biological parent’s change of heart or an immigration fiasco can turn a joyous occasion into a nightmare.  Arnold Law and Mediation assists families with the complex legal procedures and frustrating red tape of the adoption process so you can feel secure about your child’s well-being.
