In Minnesota, the statute creates a rebuttable presumption that a parent is entitled to receive at least 25% of the parenting time for their child, even in the absence of other evidence. This means that the burden of proof would be on the parent. Establishing a parenting time schedule can be a conflicting area for parents, and this pamphlet aims to assist them in creating a schedule that aligns with the best interests of the child.
The best interests of the child are evaluated in evaluating the best parenting time arrangement, also known as “denied parenting time”. This arrangement does not allow one parent to have any parenting time with the child(ren). Minnesota Statutes provide a minimum presumptive base for parenting time, with a rebuttable presumption that a parent is entitled to receive at least 25 percent of the parenting time. Parents may agree to change their parenting time schedule without going to court, but they must obtain a court order if they want a parenting time.
In most cases, the law presumes that a parent is entitled to receive at least 25 percent of the parenting time with their child. However, it is important to note that 25 is only the presumed minimum. The presumption of a minimum 25 percent parenting time for the non-custodial parent is only the presumed minimum. A recent blog post addressed the presumption under Minnesota law that a parent is entitled to have at least 25 percent of the parenting time with their child.

Do moms automatically have full custody Minnesota?
Unmarried fathers and mothers have different rights and responsibilities as parents in Minnesota. A father has no right to custody or parenting time until paternity is established, while a mother has sole legal and physical custody until a court order. Only a legal parent can request custody or parenting time. Both parents should provide the best possible care for their child, even if there are disagreements. Shared parenting is best when both parents can provide it, and major decisions should be made by both parents. These rights do not apply when parents are not married.
At what age in Minnesota can a child decide which parent to live with?
In Minnesota, there is no age limit for a child to choose their parent, and older children generally have more weight in custody determinations and motions to modify custody. Courts prioritize meeting a child’s special needs, and allegations of domestic abuse are common in custody cases. Whether the abuse is real or a lie, this factor can significantly impact a custody determination. Courts aim to ensure that a child’s special needs are being met.
What is the presumption of parenting time in Minnesota?
Parenting time is generally mandatory in Minnesota, and courts do not impose a default schedule. Parenting time is not denied to parents who do not pay child support or have a criminal record, but may be supervised or restricted to protect the child. Judges usually award at least 25 parenting time with a child, but more may be awarded if safety concerns arise. Parenting time can be exercised by various schedules, such as weekly exchanges, daily visits, or weekend visits.
Parenting time can be modified if it is in the child’s best interests, such as when the child reaches school age or if one parent moves. Parents can request a Parenting Time Modification, but the judge will always consider the child’s best interests when ordering a schedule. Martin and Wagner’s Family Law Services, led by Becky Martin, Melissa Bakeberg, and Ethne Hedren, are experienced in all areas of family law, including adoptions, child support, parenting time, divorce and separation, mediation, FENE/CPENE, and post-judgment modification. They can guide families through developing a parenting time schedule and answer any questions they may have.
How can a mother lose custody in Minnesota?
Minnesota law allows mothers to lose legal and physical custody of their children if they are endangering their children due to illegal drug use, misusing prescription drugs, or not seeking help for mental health issues. This can also occur in abusive relationships where children witness the abuse. Judges aim to see parents as the best they can be, sober, and in safe relationships. A mother who shows she is seeking help and genuinely wants to provide a safe environment for her children stands the best chance in court to keep custody.
In 2015, Minnesota law changed to treat both parents equally, allowing fathers to legally obtain joint legal custody and physical custody. This change ensures that both parents are treated equally and judges cannot assume who is more of a parent.
What is the minimum parenting time in Minnesota?
In Minnesota, courts set a reasonable parenting schedule for non-custodial parents, known as “parenting time parents”, with a minimum of 25% parenting time. Judges may award more than 25% if safety concerns prevent it. Custodial parents, defined as “primary parents”, prioritize the child’s well-being and stability, but denying parenting time is only allowed in extreme circumstances. Parents can develop a parenting plan independently or with court assistance, typically including the following:
- Establishing a routine for daily activities, such as exercise, reading, and writing.
- Ensuring the child’s safety and well-being.
What is the Minnesota statute 518a 36?
This section outlines the parenting expense adjustment, which assumes that a parent is responsible for and incurs costs of caring for a child, including food, clothing, transportation, recreation, and household expenses. Every child support order must specify the percentage of parenting time granted to or presumed for each parent. Parenting time includes visitation, physical custody, and parenting time. The percentage of parenting time can be determined by calculating the number of overnights or overnight equivalents a parent spends with a child pursuant to a court order.
The court may consider the child’s age in determining whether a child is with a parent for a significant period of time. If there is no court order awarding parenting time, the court will determine the child support award without considering the parenting expense adjustment. If a parenting time order is subsequently issued or in the same proceeding, the child support order shall include application of the parenting expense adjustment.
What is reserved parenting time in Minnesota?
In Minnesota District Court, child custody and parenting time are divided into two types: physical custody and legal custody. Legal custody involves making important decisions for the child, such as education, healthcare, and religion, while physical custody involves making decisions about the child’s daily activities and living arrangements. If the court reserves parenting time, it means the child is not currently asking for a decision about parenting time. The court may create a schedule in the future, and requesting it signifies that the court is not currently considering the child’s parenting time.
What is the rule 4.4 in Minnesota?

What is the statute 518a 42 in Minnesota?
The court must determine a child support order based on the obligor’s ability to pay. This is done by subtracting a monthly self-support reserve equal to 120 percent of the federal poverty guidelines from the obligor’s parental income for determining child support (PICS). If benefits under section 518A. 31 are received by the obligee as a representative payee for a joint child or by the child attending school, the court must subtract the amount of benefits from the obligor’s PICS before subtracting the self-support reserve.
If the obligor’s income is equal to or greater than the obligor’s support obligation calculated under section 518A. 34, the court will order child support under section 518A. 34. If the obligor’s income is more than the minimum support amount under subdivision 2 but less than the guideline amount under section 518A. 34, the court will apply a reduction to the child support obligation until the support order is equal to the obligor’s income available for support.
📹 How will the legislature’s rewording of the parenting time presumption affect your clients?

I commend the lady speaking here that children need their Dad’s in their lives but she has to understand that family court is a business for profit and that they exploit families and separate children from their Dad’s to make money. Monroe County Family Court in Rochester NY with the assistance of Former Law Guardian Ella Van Loon terminated the bulk of my real rights to raise who they say is my son. Without Due Process of Law, and a finding of fact of fact that I ever neglected the child, which would be an impossibly because I was and am an alienated parent, she set me up on a about 6 chaperoned visits with the child and the parent who was alienating me was chaperoning the visit, then I was to get 6 hours on Saturday from 10am to 4pm then in 6 months, the child could have a sleep over, but absolutely NO holiday visits were allowed by Ella Van Loon, she left it up to the mother who had alienated me for 5 years up to that point as to whether or not I would have any holiday visits. The mother decided I get absolutely nothing, she went back to alienating me and told me I would never see Nick again. That was in 2011and she has held to that decision, however, Hearing Officer Linda Pilato wants me to continue to pay what I call an ongoing ransom demand.
The biggest injustice of our time. This issue crosses race, gender, and equality lines. It’s something that hopefully most of us never have to experience. I pray that we pass laws like this from coast to coast, and I pray that legislators can continue to try to get something done to get bills like this one passed.
