Parenting Time Chanhassen, MN

The attorneys of Hennek Klaenhammer Law, PLLC serving the Chanhassen, MN area handle all aspects of family law including parenting time (formerly referred to as “visitation”). Our Minneapolis family lawyers understand how important parenting time is to a child’s well being. Parents should work together to decide on specific schedules that best suit the day-to-day lives of their children, and also ensure that both parents will continue to play an important role in the children’s lives. Many parents find that a schedule that is developed taking into account school calendars, summer breaks, holiday and vacation times, sports and extracurricular activities often works best for everyone. Though it can be difficult to even speak to your former spouse, it is in the best interest of your children to work out an appropriate schedule that allows both parents access to their children.

Modifications to the parenting time schedule can be made at any time if the parties agree. If the other parent does not agree to change the schedule, a motion can be scheduled before the court. The law guiding the court provides that modification of parenting time can be made when it is shown that modification would serve the best interests of the child.

Child custody and child support do not go hand-in-hand. Even if one parent is not current on their child support payments, that does not mean they do not get to see their children.

Paternity Chanhassen, MN

The attorneys at Hennek Klaenhammer Law, PLLC represent all aspects of family law including paternity matters (the parents of the child are/were not married).

The courts will establish paternity through:

It is very important to know your rights under either of the foregoing scenarios. Discuss this with one of our paternity attorneys as soon as possible. Once paternity is established, custody, parenting time, child support and more can be determined.
