Parenting time determinations provisions modification

This bill modifies Minnesota's family law guidelines for determining parenting time and custody by updating the factors courts must consider when evaluating a child's best interests. It requires judges to make detailed findings on each relevant factor, including the child's needs, parental involvement, domestic abuse history, and the benefits of maintaining relationships with both parents. The legislation establishes a rebuttable presumption that joint legal custody serves the child's best interests, while allowing exceptions when domestic abuse has occurred between parents. Additionally, the bill clarifies that disability alone cannot determine custody outcomes and prohibits courts from considering parental conduct that does not affect the parent-child relationship.
