Requirements for a temporary order in a family law case modified.

This bill modifies Minnesota's family law procedures to require courts to prioritize expedited hearings for temporary relief in specific situations. It directly affects parents involved in ongoing divorce or custody cases who face denial of parenting time or financial support. The key provision mandates that courts must schedule a priority hearing within 30 days when a party credibly alleges being denied parenting time for 14 consecutive days or more, or being unreasonably denied access to necessary financial resources. The amendment also clarifies that credible allegations of domestic abuse, substance abuse, maltreatment, or neglect can serve as a reasonable basis for denying parenting time, though priority hearings must still occur within 30 days when parenting time has been denied for 14 consecutive days. If temporary parenting time is granted, the court may also order temporary child support upon request.
