The Nygaard & Longe Law Office was established in 1989 by partners Mark Nygaard and Mark A. Longe. The office’s primary area of practice is family law, with a special focus on representing fathers and protecting their rights in custody, parenting time, and child support cases.

In fact, the Nygaard & Longe Law Office is the oldest established father’s rights law office in the State of Minnesota. Our attorneys have over fifty-five years of combined experience in the area of family law. The Nygaard & Longe Law Office has registered the service mark “Divorce for Dads”.

Our office is sensitive to the concerns of fathers who wish to maintain a strong relationship with their children during and after a marital dissolution or separation; or in paternity cases, where the parents never were married.

The attorneys in our office have not only fought long and hard for the rights of fathers in the legal system; but also through volunteer lobbying at the Minnesota state legislature, and by conducting free legal clinics for fathers.

Our lawyers have achieved successful results in hundreds of cases for fathers living all across the Twin Cities area and central and southern Minnesota; including, but not limited to, Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Bloomington, Hennepin County, Ramsey County, Dakota County, Washington County, Anoka County, Wright County, Scott County and Carver County.
