Custody & Visitation
There are two types of custody: legal custody and physical custody.
Legal Custody
Legal custody refers to the right to determine the child's upbringing. This includes decisions like education, health care and religious training. Joint legal custody means that both parents contribute to making these decisions. Typically, Minnesota presumes that it is in the best interest of the child to share legal custody.
Physical Custody
Physical custody
refers to the residence, daily care and control of the child.
Best Interest of the Child Statute
Custody in Minnesota is determined by Minnesota Statute 518.17, which outlines the factors a family law court would use to determine the Best Interest of the Child.
