A: In Minnesota, individuals facing financial difficulties, such as being unemployed and experiencing hardships like mistreatment within a marriage, can seek assistance for obtaining a divorce. Various resources are available, including legal aid organizations that offer free or low-cost legal services to those who qualify based on income. Additionally, the state's courts may provide self-help resources to guide you through the divorce process. You may also be eligible to have court filing fees waived if you can demonstrate financial hardship. Given your situation, involving domestic issues and health concerns, local domestic violence organizations might offer additional support and resources. It's important to reach out to these organizations, as well as legal aid services, to understand the options available to you for pursuing a divorce and ensuring your safety and well-being during this process.
