1997 Minnesota Statutes

     540.05 Married person may sue or be sued alone. 

    In cases where the spouse, except for the marriage 
 relation, would not be a necessary party, a married person may 
 sue and be sued as if unmarried and without joining the spouse.  
 If a person marries and at the same time takes a new name while 
 a party to a pending action, the person shall thereafter be 
 designated by the new name.
