Summary
The bill would change Minnesota statutes governing child custody and parenting time. It expands the list of factors courts must weigh, creates a rebuttable presumption that joint legal and physical custody is in the child's best interest (unless domestic abuse is found), and presumes each parent should receive at least 50% of parenting time. It applies to all divorce, legal separation, and service‑member custody cases and would have required courts to issue detailed findings and specific parenting schedules.
