Special Needs Children MN

When adults with special needs divorce, there are issues regarding government benefits, healthcare, and quality of life.

These issues are also present when parents of special needs children divorce. But more importantly, having a child with special needs takes a lot of time, energy and patience. It also takes involvement and support from the entire family – a commitment that doesn’t end just because a marriage dissolves.

Special needs divorces require an attorney who understands people with special needs. Moore Family Law understands.

If you are getting divorced, your role as a spouse will end, but your role as a parent continues uninterrupted. Moore Family Law understands the challenges that families with special needs children face as they undergo divorce. We have specific, personal experience in this crucial area and we are qualified to help with these unique situations by providing support and guidance in the areas of guardianship, estate planning, supplemental needs trusts and custody.

For instance, we can help you create a Supplemental Needs Trust designed to hold assets for a special needs beneficiary receiving public benefits, particularly Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Medicaid, so that the trust assets can be used to enhance the special needs beneficiaries’ quality of life while maintaining eligibility for the benefits. We can also assist you in revising your estate plan with the goal of ensuring that all of the assets intended to benefit your special needs child do not inadvertently pass to the former spouse.
