Minnesota Domestic Partnership Dissolution Lawyer
Handling Dissolution and Related Issues Unique to Domestic Partnerships
In Minnesota, as in many other states, a domestic partnership is a loosely defined entity. Individuals in domestic partnerships are not guaranteed many of the same rights and protections as married couples. There is also a relative lack of case law relevant to the rights of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) partners in the dissolution of a domestic partnership. The same is true of other non-traditional families.
Same-sex couples cannot necessarily rely on the courts to provide clear-cut guidance or to provide acceptable resolutions to complex disputes. Mediation can allow the parties to work collaboratively to find real, lasting solutions that are custom-tailored to the particular situation.
If you are involved in a dispute over the dissolution of a domestic partnership, an experienced attorney may be able to help you reach an amicable settlement through mediation. At the St. Cloud-Princeton area offices of Thompson Legal Services, we assist clients in obtaining real, lasting solutions to property disputes and matters involving children.

Resolving Domestic Partnership Disputes Through Mediation
Mediation can be a powerful tool when applied to disputes over property, assets and debt in the dissolution or separation of a domestic partnership. As in litigation, financial experts can be brought in to provide an impartial assessment. Unlike a courtroom process, the parties involved in mediation maintain control of the venue, timing and the ultimate outcome.
Mediation can also offer substantial benefits to children who are impacted by the dissolution or separation of a domestic partnership. It is unlikely that Minnesota law will provide a clear answer regarding the rights of non-biological parents to maintain a relationship with the children they love and have helped raise.
Mediation can allow the parties to set aside their personal differences and make decisions that are focused on what is in the best interest of the child or children in question. The team at Thompson Legal Services has substantial experience in the mediation of important issues affecting children, such as:
