Parenting Plans in MinnesotaAs of January 1st, 2001, Minnesota litigants have had the option of stipulating to a "Parenting Plan" in lieu of a traditional custody award1. A major goal of this legislation was to help parents avoid getting bogged down in arguments over the custody label2. Unfortunately, the legislation hasn't entirely lived up to its promise. The statute still requires custody labels, and although this is supposedly only for purposes of enforcement in other states, it remains a source of conflict. Footnotes: 1 Minnesota Statute section 518.1705. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Eric C.
