Requirements modification for a temporary order in a family law case

Summary

The bill amends Minnesota family law so that a court must prioritize and hold a hearing within 30 days when a party credibly alleges they have been denied parenting time for 14 consecutive days or denied essential financial support during a divorce. It also tells courts to consider credible evidence of abuse, substance use, maltreatment or neglect when deciding temporary orders. The change is meant to speed up protection and financial assistance for families in urgent need.
