About Tara And Smith Family Law

Our Simplified Approach To Divorce And Other Family Law Matters

The legal dissolution of your marriage can be an immensely difficult and stressful time. That is why Smith Family Law PLLC honed their simplified approach, making confusing and complicated legal procedures easy to understand for clients.

Our attorneys have a deep understanding of both the nuances of family law and the needs of clients as they navigate divorce. We can help with the equitable distribution of assets and also examine whether spousal maintenance, also known as alimony, is justified. If children are involved, our attorneys work with parents to find the best path forward regarding child custody and child support, if necessary. We can also work with parents to determine paternity and, in cases of relocation or when circumstances change, can assist with the modification of court orders. Our dedication to simplifying the burdensome process for clients can make an especially big impact during complex family proceedings.

Smith Family Law PLLC is an Edina divorce and family law firmserving the Minneapolis - St. Paul Twin Cities metro and Southeast Minnesota.
