Southeastern Minnesota Family Support Center is a Non-Profit Organization which helps people resolve custody and parenting time disputes.  We offer an array of innovative ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) processes. From Early Neutral Evaluations to Pro Tem Judge to Neutral Fact Finding, Southeastern Minnesota Family Support Center, Inc. is focused to finding expeditious ways to achieve resolution.

Our courts with their best efforts and professionalism are struggling to meet the administrative demands of family law cases.

In the near future, financial constraints are requiring the courts to cut even more services. The traditional approach to legal counsel can often perpetuate conflict. An adversarial approach adds contempt, cost, animosity and heartache rather than a civil decision making process aimed at a negotiated resolution.

 

Couples have an option to divert from the adversarial court system, which will save you months of emotionally exasperating litigation and significant dollars in legal fees and costs. Decisions about children are extremely personal, private and emotional, and not every couple is able to negotiate without emotions getting in the way.

	" Many divorces and custody battles last months, even years, without a resolution. Attorney fees of $20,000.00 or more are not uncommon and continue to mount until
the parties are either financially and/or emotionally exhausted".
