Divorce/Family Law

To see just how successful our approach is, here are some representative results:

Confidential Annulment Matter

September, 2017
Charges: Annulment of Marriage

In what appears to be the first successful annulment filing in the State in some time, North Star and Mr. Adkins convinced a Dakota County Judge to not only annul (essentially, erase from ever existing) a marriage notwithstanding cases disfavoring this remedy, but to grant her protection from creditors and other valuable relief. Client is ecstatic, with good reason--her name is utterly restored, and she can leave this troubling timeframe completely behind.

Confidential CHIPs Matter

August, 2017
Charges: CHIPs case - allegations involve excessive punishment

After ensuring her children were returned immediately after the intervention of Children Protective Services in this matter, where a child was punished arguably in a felony manner by a third party, this mom successfully navigated the State's often maze-like process to confirm custody and proper parenting, in short order and with high praise from the participants. North Star routinely handles these mixed family-court/criminal matters, and our results are unmatched. We combine early and thoughtful intervention with constant contact and a long and inclusive list of preferred therapeutic providers to achieve outstanding results. Visit with us immediately if you are in these straits--the sooner you stop the bleeding, the sooner you get to recover and move on as a family.

B.W. and V.F.

August, 2017
Charges: Child Custody/Contempt case - Family law matter

Mediation scheduled over opposing party's objection, and contempt citation completely avoided notwithstanding pretty aggressive conduct on the part of our client. Getting North Star involved in your child custody matter early is key, but any time is the right time to get the sort of exhaustive and comprehensive assistance that we provide, particularly when the welfare of your offspring is at issue. Fantastic result, and the subsequent mediation session was only icing on a well-created cake.
