Family Law

Family Law

Undergoing a major life change such as divorce or adoption can be an incredibly intense and stressful time, even when the change is for the best. At Beckman & Steen, we are here to guide you through these times. Our Minnesota family law attorneys understand that you have probably not been through the legal system before. For every client, we take the time to carefully explain the process during every stage. Clients are always informed and involved, not only on the progress of their case, but also on the risks, alternatives and options for every course of action. We help you retain control in what is often an emotionally charged and complex time of your life.

Minnesota Adoption Attorneys
If you have made the decision to adopt a child or are considering adoption in Minnesota, consulting an adoption attorney can offer important information about your options and ensure that your adoption proceeds as smoothly as possible. Our adoption attorneys are knowledgeable in all types of adoption, including domestic and overseas adoption, adoptions through an agency, and private or independent adoptions. Our experience also includes working with unmarried fathers, including those listed on the Father's Adoption Registry in Minnesota who may be interested in adopting their children.

Whatever your situation, our adoption attorneys can help you obtain and file the correct paperwork, advise you on important decisions such as open versus closed adoptions, and address your questions and concerns as you expand your family.

Divorce, Child Custody Attorneys 
Our lawyers want what's best for you and your family. When you are considering divorce or separation, it's important to be empowered to make the right decisions so you emerge stronger in the end.

We are prepared to handle and explain complex matters of child custody and visitation / parenting time, child support, paternity, alimony and spousal maintenance, as well as division of property, assets, and debt.

Post Decree Motions and Appeals
