Parenting time determinations provisions modifications

This bill modifies Minnesota family law to establish a rebuttable presumption that it is in a child's best interest to maximize their time with each parent, aiming to maintain strong parent-child relationships. It requires courts to include specific schedules for regular parenting time, including holidays and school breaks, and mandates written findings when deviating from the 50 percent time presumption. The bill outlines specific circumstances under which courts may deviate from equal time, such as parental mental illness, substance use issues, scheduling conflicts, distance between parents, or special needs of the child. Additionally, it creates a standardized form for self-represented parents to request parenting time modifications and requires courts to assess each parent's ability to comply with the awarded schedule.
