New Family Laws Passed in August 2024

Have you ever been in a situation where your former partner is withholding parenting time from you with your child(ren) during a custody dispute? Have you then tried to take your former partner to court to try to recover those lost days, only to realize that it will take months before a judge will be able to hear your case

Fortunately, the Minnesota legislature passed new family laws in August 2024 where if a parent is being denied their parenting time from their child(ren) for over 14 consecutive days, the court must hold a hearing within 30 days . This is a significant change in the family law field as no such law has ever existed before. Additionally, changes have been made in the law where if a spouse is being denied financial resources while they are in the middle of a divorce action, the court must hold a hearing within 30 days as well.
