Minnesota Divorce Settlement Agreement: What Is It?
A Minnesota Divorce Settlement Agreement is needed during a divorce and the purpose of the agreement serves to record all arrangements created between both parties undergoing divorce.
Alternate Names:
- Minnesota Marital Settlement Agreement;
- Minnesota Divorce Agreement.
The document should in detail describe all responsibilities that each party has. These agreements will be enforced legally if agreed by the court and both parties must then commit to them.
The arrangements can cover information concerning:
- The obligations of the parents which would also take into account the custody of any minors and the financial aspect like child support also need to be described;
- Some couples may agree to alimony, which obliges one spouse to pay out financial support to the other spouse;
- Any assets which include properties and vehicles should be shared out only if they were obtained during marriage. Details of this should be described in the document.

How to File for Divorce in Minnesota?
In order for the proceedings to be done fairly, ensuring the relevant responsibilities and assets are shared in a respectable way, the former spouses will need to prove their financial income which should reflect all income that each spouse receives. In Minnesota, there is a standard fee for filing for divorce which totals $285 and will take a minimum of thirty days.
To start, follow the steps outlined below:
- Both parties should complete all necessary paperwork providing that they meet the requirements for state residency;
- All necessary documents should be filed with the District Court that is local to the county of residence;
- At least thirty days need to pass before the court can reach a decision and issue a certificate confirming the divorce has gone through successfully;
- Once the parties have these documents on hand, they will need to update the county in regards to the real estate interests of each former spouse. They should fill in a specialized form which must then also be handed over to the same court where the divorce was initially filed. This will ensure that the county has a relevant and up-to-date system of real estate ownership and entitlement;
- If either spouse considers changing their legal name after the divorce is finalized, they may do this by filling in a separate form and filing it with the District Court.
