Key Considerations We Assist with in Minnesota Child Custody Cases
When a Minneapolis divorce involves minor children, several critical areas of law come into play. Our firm offers personalized guidance on each of these topics.
- Child Custody, Care and Control, & Access: In Minnesota, the terms "custody" and "parenting time" (often referred to as "access") define how parents share responsibility for their children. We help you navigate the legal distinctions and determine a suitable arrangement that respects your parental rights and provides a stable environment for your children.
- Types of Custody Arrangements: The Minnesota court system distinguishes between legal custody (the right to make major decisions about a child's life) and physical custody (where the child lives). We explain how these arrangements work and assist you in advocating for the one that best suits your family's needs.
- Child Maintenance Obligations: Child support in Minnesota is calculated based on a formula. We help you understand the statutory guidelines and work to ensure a just and accurate calculation is reached.
- Parenting Plans & Agreements: A formal parenting plan is a legally binding document that outlines the details of your co-parenting relationship. We assist in drafting and negotiating these plans to create a clear roadmap for your family's future.
- Legal Assistance & Resources: To help Minneapolis families understand the divorce process, we offer valuable resources. We invite you to download our free e-book, which provides information on Minnesota family law and offers helpful insights for those considering or undergoing a divorce.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if my child has a preference regarding custody?
A judge may consider a child's wishes regarding custody and parenting time, especially if the child is of sufficient age and maturity. While a child's preference is not the only factor, it can be one of many considerations the court uses to determine the child's best interests.
Can a custody arrangement be modified after the divorce is finalized?
Yes, custody and parenting time orders can be modified, but it requires demonstrating a "significant change in circumstances" since the original order was made.
What if we can't agree on a parenting plan or custody arrangement?
If you and the other parent cannot reach an agreement, the court will often order you to attend mediation. If mediation is unsuccessful, your case may proceed to court where a judge will make a final decision on all unresolved issues.
How does Minnesota law handle moves or relocations with a child?
If one parent wants to move with the child out of Minnesota or to a location within the state that significantly impacts the other parent's parenting time, they must either obtain permission from the other parent or seek court approval.
