Rebecca
Chaffee is a member of the Family Law practice area. She works with
and counsels parents, spouses, grandparents and other relatives
to resolve their most difficult financial and personal issues. Rebecca's
approach is to help her client create a fair and dignified settlement.
When settlement is not possible, she zealously and diligently advocates
for her client through the litigation process.
Her
cases have included settlement, as well as, litigation of all types
of family law matters; including child support, child custody, parenting
time, grandparent visitation, spousal maintenance, marriage dissolutions,
legal separations, lump-sum child support settlements, paternity
actions, and adoptions. She frequently works on complex financial
issues, including business valuations, complex property divisions
and non-marital tracing. Rebecca also drafts premarital and post-marital
agreements and cohabitation agreements to create protection for
the assets and income of individuals.
Prior
to practicing at Best & Flanagan LLP, Rebecca served as a law
clerk for a Hennepin County District Court judge in family court.
