Creating a parenting time plan in Minnesota is key to supporting your child’s well-being during and after a family transition. Parenting time sets the schedule for when children spend time with each parent, following the idea that children thrive with meaningful relationships with both parents. Minnesota law prioritizes the child’s best interests, including their emotional, physical, and developmental needs. Courts aim to ensure time is shared fairly and tailored to each family’s unique situation.
Atticus Family Law is dedicated to helping parents navigate the complexities of establishing and modifying parenting time schedules. Our team understands that every family is different, and we approach each case with empathy, reassurance, and credibility.
Parenting time plans are not one-size-fits-all. They are customized agreements or court directives that detail where the child resides on certain days, including weekdays, weekends, holidays, and vacations. Minnesota law recognizes that children benefit from stability and consistent contact with both parents, but how this is achieved varies from one family to another. The court evaluates factors like the child’s needs, the parents’ schedules, and each parent’s relationship with the child to establish a plan that serves the child’s best interests.
While the goal is a collaborative plan, it’s not uncommon for disagreements to arise. From concerns about unequal division of time to disputes over transportation or last-minute changes, these tensions can become overwhelming. Navigating this process alone can be daunting, but having skilled legal guidance ensures your voice is heard and that outcomes are fair.
