Do It Yourself Divorce Workshop — Free on YouTube

We’ve moved our full DIY Workshop to YouTube — completely free and available anytime you or someone you care about needs it.

Welcome to the DIY Divorce Workshop presented by Susan Mundahl, a Minnesota family law attorney with more than 35 years of experience. Originally recorded in 2020, this free educational series walks you through the divorce process in Minnesota, offering practical guidance for individuals who choose to represent themselves.

In this workshop, Susan explains key topics in a clear, non-intimidating format, including:

  • Court forms and filing procedures
  • Custody considerations
  • Spousal maintenance
  • Dividing assets
  • What a divorce typically looks like from start to finish

Whether you’re contemplating divorce, actively going through it, or supporting someone who is, these videos offer practical, easy-to-follow guidance you can trust. The recordings are designed to give you clarity and confidence as you navigate an often overwhelming process.

Explore the series, revisit sections as needed, and feel free to share with anyone who might benefit from steady direction during a difficult time.
