Family Law: Parenting Consulting
Minnesota Parenting Consulting
For divorced or separated parents, settling disputes about how a child should be raised can prove difficult, sometimes resulting in litigation. Parenting consulting presents a preferable alternative to a lengthy, emotionally taxing legal battle.
The goal of a parenting consultant is to serve as a neutral third party who helps separated parents make decisions in the best interest of their children. If you’re in need of parenting consulting in Minnesota, Heller & Thyen is ready to assist you.
How Parenting Consulting Can Benefit Your Family
At Heller & Thyen, our team of experienced family lawyers specialize in parenting consulting solutions for our clients in Minnesota. Working with our parenting consultants can help you in the following ways:
- We can provide conflict resolution for disagreements between parents about parenting time, holiday schedules, extracurricular activities, medical or educational decisions, and any other issues that arise.
- Our parenting consultants can mediate discussions between divorced or separated parents to make sure that final decisions prioritize the child’s best interests and well-being.
- We provide coaching for better communication and problem-solving between co-parents.
- In cases where parents cannot reach a decision, a parenting consultant may have the authority to make binding decisions regarding the upbringing of their children.
How Do I Know If I Need Parenting Consulting?
It may be a good time to bring in a parenting consultant if any of these situations applies to you and a co-parent:
- You and the other parent are having frequent disagreements and arguments, making it hard to co-parent effectively.
- Your child is showing signs of stress from being caught in the middle of disputes.
- You’ve gone back to court multiple times to resolve parenting disputes.
- You and the co-parent are looking for a faster, less expensive, and more child-focused way to resolve your differences.
Custody & Parenting Time Evaluation Services in Minnesota
When the court needs help to determine a custody arrangement and parenting schedules, they may request the services of a parenting consultant. Custody and parenting time evaluations are formal assessments conducted by a parenting consultant to provide expert neutral input on what decision would be in a child’s best interest. These evaluations help to determine the details of how much time a child spends with each separated or divorced parent in custody arrangements.

If you are behind on your mortgage payment or car loan, a Chapter 7 will not bring you current. However, there may be other options available to you., like Chapter 13.
It is also important to keep in mind that a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy may not protect all of your assets. If you own multiple homes with a lot of equity in them or other valuable assets such as boats or vehicles without loans against them, the bankruptcy trustee will either sell the item and use the proceeds to pay some of your creditors, or negotiate with you to receive the cash equivalent of the asset. We can help you negotiate with the trustee if this situation arises.
If you find yourself in this type of situation, where you have unprotected assets that you want to keep, it may be better to do some pre-bankruptcy planning or look into a Chapter 13 payment plan.
