MN SF2732

Eliminates the presumption for or against joint physical custody, except when domestic abuse has occurred between parents, in which case joint custody is presumed not in the child's best interest.

Requires courts to consider four factors when joint custody is contemplated: parents' ability to cooperate, methods for resolving disputes, whether sole authority would be detrimental to the child, and whether domestic abuse has occurred.

Clarifies that disagreement alone over sole versus joint custody does not constitute inability of parents to cooperate in child-rearing.

Allows courts to reserve determination of future parenting time establishment or expansion, with subsequent decisions based on the child's best interests including changing developmental needs.

Specifies that increasing one parent's parenting time to between 45.1 to 54.9 percent is not a restriction of the other parent's parenting time.
