Parenting Time
- Visitation is called parenting time in MN.
- Parenting time is based on a parenting plan.
Parenting time is the time a parent spends with a child, regardless of the custodial designation regarding the child. A parent with physical custody and a noncustodial parent may share parenting time. Parents with joint physical custody do share parenting time.
Parenting time is determined according to a parenting plan that the parents agree to and, in contested cases, a judge approves.
Legal custody is not related to parenting time. Legal custody does not grant parenting time, and rights to parenting time does not give a parent legal custody.
