Coffee with Claire #16 – Commonly Asked Questions Blog Series
April 25, 2018
What is the Summons?Writer’s note: This blog series is meant to act as responses to “quick” questions you may have for attorneys. Think of these answers as a “quick” answer you might receive over coffee from your friendly neighborhood attorney.
The Summons is one of the initial documents that start a divorce, custody, or child support proceeding. It is a short document (2-3 pages) that basically says, “Hey, you there! Pay attention! There is a legal proceeding about to start!”
There are a couple of items that are required to be in a Summons: if there is real estate a legal description, temporary restraining provisions (you can’t change insurance, for example), and a parent education requirement.
If you are served a Summons, it is important to talk with an attorney to understand the legal proceeding and your rights.
To read more about the Summons, see Minn. Stat. §518.091.
If you have questions about custody or divorce, please contact Claire Tralle to set up a free initial telephone call.
