Frequently Asked Questions About Family Law
How is child custody determined in Minnesota?
Minnesota courts determine custody based on the child’s best interests, considering factors such as the child’s relationship with each parent, the parents’ ability to provide care, and the child’s preferences (if appropriate).
What factors are considered in property division during a divorce?
Minnesota is an equitable distribution state, meaning property is divided fairly, though not necessarily equally. Courts consider factors like the length of the marriage, each party’s contributions, and future financial needs.
Can I modify a child support or custody order?
Yes, there are numerous scenarios that can result in a modification of child custody or support. However, modifying child custody, in particular, can be complex and time-consuming. Courts generally favor stability, so it is important to carefully present qualifying reasons for a modification to the court, to ensure the highest chance of success.
