In Minnesota, there are three general categories of child custody. Physical custody, legal custody, and parenting time (also known as visitation) are the broad categories discussed in the context of a child custody case.

Physical Custody

Physical custody refers to the ability of a parent to make choices as to the day-to-day living situation of the child. Additionally, physical custody includes the residence of the child. Physical custody of a child is often the most heated portion of a custody arrangement and if there is no agreement, will be decided by the court based on a list of factors.

Legal Custody

Legal custody, on the other hand, gives a parent power to make decisions relating to the healthcare, education, and other similar big-picture issues in their child’s life.

Parenting Time (Visitation)

Parenting time generally revolves around the implementation of a schedule of the time a child will spend with each parent. Parenting time often addresses regular and holiday schedules for a child and may even include details such as transportation, child pick-up and drop-off, and telephone contact.
