Child Custody and Parenting Time

Minneapolis Child Custody and Parenting-Time Attorney

How do we protect our children from the emotional fallout of the divorce? As experienced child custody lawyers, we often remind parents to focus on being the best parent they can be, helping their children cope with issues related to the divorce and to take positive steps toward the future. At the law office of Kathleen M. Picotte Newman located in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota, we support our clients with child custody and parenting time (often called visitation) issues. We do this by supporting them in all aspects of child custody issues and helping them understand the divorce process and the law.

"When you have kids involved in a divorce, Kathleen is very warm and considerate and professional. She understands that it's an emotional subject and she approaches that very well. In the end, the kids were happy and I was happy." -Reed L.

Under Minnesota law, there are currently four types of child custody arrangements available to families. We help our clients work out the one that is right for their children and circumstances:

• Sole legal and sole physical custody
• Joint legal and sole physical custody
• Joint legal and joint physical custody
• Joint legal custody with a parenting plan

A Holistic Approach to Helping Families Through Divorces

When parents wonder how their children are affected, we often talk to them about issues of child development. We encourage families to see counselors and other experts during this often difficult time. We work to offer guidance and support and are mindful of the emotional, mental, and physical health of parents and children.
