Custody vs. Parenting Time

In Minnesota, there is a distinction between custody and parenting time. Legal Custody means who controls the major decision making for the child(ren) regarding medical, educational, religious, and other major life decisions. Physical Custody is where the child(ren) primarily reside. Parenting time is the actual schedule that the parents and children follow. There are many creative ways to tailor custody and parenting time to a family's specific needs and that are in the best interests of the child(ren). Contact Frago & Lasswell, P.A. today to set up a consult to discuss these distinctions and your options.

No Fault Divorce State- Minnesota

Minnesota is a “No Fault State” meaning if you wish to be divorced from your spouse, you may do so without proving legal cause other than an irretrievable breakdown of the marital relationship (https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/518.06). Even if your spouse does not want the divorce and refuses to participate and/or attempts to delay the process, there are legal remedies to move forward with the divorce. Sometimes when this happens the process can take a bit longer and be more complicated. Call Frago & Lasswell, P.A. today to set up a free consult and discuss your options if you want a divorce but need some help getting there.
