Spousal maintenance isn't always forever. But how long does it last?

When navigating divorce, financial stability is often one of the biggest concerns. And when spousal maintenance (sometimes called alimony) enters the conversation, it's natural to have questions.

What's the difference between temporary and permanent maintenance?

How is the amount and duration determined?

What happens if financial circumstances change?

Understanding your options can help you approach your next chapter with greater clarity and confidence.

At Johnson/Turner, we believe informed decisions lead to stronger futures.

Life moves forward, circumstances change, and what worked for your family before might not work today.

But did you know that your custody, parenting time, or child support order may be able to change with you?

Here are some common reasons families explore modifying an existing court order:

Changes in income or employment: A job loss, career change, or significant shift in income may affect child support obligations.

Relocation: When a parent moves, existing custody or parenting-time arrangements may need to be reconsidered.

Changing schedules: New work hours, school schedules, or extracurricular activities can make an existing parenting-time schedule difficult to maintain.

Evolving needs of your children: As children grow, their educational, medical, developmental, and emotional needs may change.

Changes in family circumstances: Significant changes in a parent's living situation, caregiving responsibilities, or a child's well-being may warrant a closer look at existing arrangements.

The important thing to remember? You have options.

Not every life change qualifies for a legal modification, and the requirements depend on the type of order and your circumstances.

At Johnson/Turner, we help families understand their options and navigate the modification process with clarity and confidence.

Because life changes. And sometimes, your court order should, too.

Wondering whether it's time to revisit your court order? Let's talk.

When you’re dealing with a family law matter, uncertainty is already part of the equation. Your legal bill shouldn’t add to it.

That’s why Johnson/Turner offers packaged pricing for many of our legal services.

Our “Know What You Owe” approach is designed to give you greater clarity about legal costs from the beginning. Instead of wondering what every phone call, email, or next step might add to your bill, you can better understand what your legal services will cost and plan accordingly.

Because when you’re making important decisions about your family and your future, you deserve to focus on what matters—not worry about a surprise bill.

Clear expectations. More predictable costs. One less unknown.

A will and a revocable living trust can both play an important role in your estate plan—but they aren’t interchangeable.

So, what’s the difference? And how do you know which one makes sense for you and your family?

Our latest blog breaks down how wills and revocable living trusts work, the key differences between them, and what to consider when creating a plan for the future.

Because estate planning isn’t just about documents. It’s about making your wishes clear, protecting the people you care about, and creating a plan that fits your life.

It’s a phrase you hear often in child custody conversations—but it’s more than a legal buzzword.

When courts make decisions involving custody and parenting time, the focus is on the child’s well-being. That means looking at the circumstances surrounding the child and family—not simply what either parent wants.

Depending on the case and applicable law, considerations may include things like:

• The child’s physical, emotional, cultural, and developmental needs
• The child’s relationship with each parent
• Each parent’s ability to provide consistent care and stability
• The impact different parenting arrangements could have on the child
• Safety concerns, including domestic abuse
• Other factors relevant to the child’s individual circumstances

And importantly: “best interests” doesn’t look exactly the same for every family.

If you’re facing a custody or parenting-time decision, understanding how these factors may apply to your situation can help you make informed choices about what comes next.

At Johnson/Turner, we help parents understand the legal process, their options, and the path forward.

When someone passes away, handling their estate can feel overwhelming—but not every estate requires the full probate process.

In Minnesota, a Small Estate Affidavit may offer a simpler way to transfer certain assets when an estate qualifies. But how does it work, who can use one, and what requirements need to be met?

Our latest blog breaks down the basics so you can better understand your options and know what steps may come next.

Prenups aren’t just for the wealthy.

You don’t need a massive investment portfolio or a vacation home to benefit from having a plan before marriage.

A prenuptial agreement may be worth considering if you own a home or business, have children from a previous relationship, are bringing significant assets or debt into the marriage, or simply want to establish clear financial expectations with your future spouse.

A prenup isn’t about expecting your marriage to fail. It’s an opportunity to have important conversations, create transparency, and make thoughtful decisions together before saying “I do.”

Planning ahead can provide clarity for both of you—and help you enter your marriage knowing you’ve already tackled some of the tough conversations.

Have questions about whether a prenup makes sense for your situation? Johnson/Turner is here to help.

A new season is a good reminder that life changes—and your estate plan should keep up.

Whether you’ve experienced a change in your family, finances, property, or simply haven’t looked at your documents in a while, fall is a natural time to check in and make sure your plan still reflects your wishes.

At Johnson/Turner, we believe estate planning should feel clear, approachable, and empowering. A little planning today can provide greater peace of mind for tomorrow.

New season. Fresh perspective. Is it time to revisit your plan?
