Referred to Judiciary and Public Safety
Summary
The bill changes Minnesota family‑law statutes so that judges must consider a long list of factors and make written findings when deciding custody and parenting time. It creates a rebuttable presumption that joint legal and physical custody is in the child’s best interest, unless domestic abuse is present, and lets courts limit parenting time if a child’s safety is at risk. The changes affect any parents involved in divorce, legal separation, or custody disputes.
