EspañolOn our Minnesota Custody page, we revised two questions based on 2024 legislative changes affecting the way some factors can be used to determine custody:
- How will a judge make a decision about custody?
- Can the non-custodial parent have access to the child’s medical, health, and school records?
We also added the new custody question If I or my child has a disability, will that affect the judge’s decision? based on 2024 legislative changes about how a parent’s disability can be considered in the custody process.
We updated our Minnesota Suing an Abuser for Money page based on 2024 legislative changes that increased the amount of damages in small claims court to $20,000.

- What types of orders for protection are available? How long do they last?
- Step 2: A judge will review your petition and may grant an ex parte order.
- Step 3: Service of process
- How can my order be changed, extended, or vacated?
