as far as judgments in the divorce cases

the

judgment itself is final within 60 days

61 days after a judgment decree is

entered so it’s final at that time that

being said

certain issues like custody and child

support are always going to be open for

modification

when they say final some things are not

quite final

the

property division

is final now they can be overturned in a

couple different scenarios but those

scenarios are very difficult and those

standards are very difficult to meet

there has to be enough to prove

that there would be

a justification for reopening which

would include fraud mistake some other

error that was made

but those are very limited circumstances

where reopening would be allowed

where you don’t reopen and reopening’s

not possible within those 60 days you

can appeal and the appellate process is

where a lot of my work has been focused

i’ve done approximately 60 appeals to

the minnesota court of appeals i’ve done

several to the minnesota supreme court

i’ve been on cases and represented

individuals before the u.s supreme court

in amicus briefs
