Eagan, MN family law attorney, Susan M. Gallagher shares the story of a memorable high net-worth case she handled. She notes that the trial lasts an extraordinary 13 days, which is rare for family law cases in Minnesota or elsewhere. During the trial, the team values the business, examines retirement accounts, and assesses some non-marital assets. The client she represents argues that she shouldn’t have to work, so a motion is filed to request a vocational evaluation. The motion is granted, and the evaluation proves very useful in determining the amount of spousal maintenance in the case.
