Minnesota follows equitable distribution. Hennepin County Family Court handles divorce and custody. Minnesota's custody standard considers 12 statutory factors with no presumption favoring either parent. The Somali and Arab community's cultural practices—including Islamic marriage customs and extended family involvement—create unique dynamics in family law cases. Courts in Minneapolis have experience with cross-cultural custody disputes.

Our Arabic-speaking domestic violence attorneys guide you through every step of your case in Minneapolis.

Safety Assessment & Planning

We assess your immediate safety and develop a plan. This includes identifying safe housing, securing important documents, and protecting your immigration status. Everything is confidential.

Emergency Protective Order

We file for an emergency protective order that can be granted the same day without the abuser being present (ex parte). This provides immediate legal protection while longer-term solutions are put in place.

Court Hearing for Permanent Order

Within 2-3 weeks, a hearing is held where you present evidence and the abuser can respond. We prepare you thoroughly and present a compelling case for permanent protection.

Immigration Protection (VAWA/U-Visa)

If your immigration status is connected to the abuser, we file VAWA self-petitions or U-visa applications to secure independent immigration status. The abuser is not notified.

Client review
“My ex moved back to Kenya and I was left raising three kids alone. He wasn't paying support and wanted custody whenever he visited. My lawyer got me sole legal custody and a child support order enforceable through his US bank account. My kids have stability now.”

“My wife and I separated after she moved to Minnesota from DC. We had a house in Virginia and retirement accounts in both states. My lawyer coordinated with a Virginia attorney to handle both sides. Clean divorce, fair split, and we kept things civil for our kids.”

Divorce
Client review
“My husband sent most of his income to his family in Yemen without telling me. When I found out during the divorce, my lawyer traced the transfers and argued it was marital waste. The judge agreed and I got a larger share of the remaining assets. She fought for every dollar I was owed.”
