Minnesota Law allows for two types of child custody:
- Legal Custody – This refers to decision making rights, such as education, religion, physical and mental health.
- Physical Custody – This type of custody has more to deal with day-to-day life, care and routine.
How Legal and Physical Custody is Awarded:
- Sole – Custody which is awarded fully to one parent, this can be either Legal, Physical or both.
- Joint – Shared Custody means that both parents have a legal stake in either Legal, Physical or both forms of custody.
- Parenting Time/Visitation – In a case where the parent or parents were not awarded any legal or physical custody the court can offer parenting time or visitation as a set arrangement.
