“This legislative session is shaping up to be an interesting one for the family law community as several bills have been introduced covering a wide range of family law issues. This work is the result of the child custody dialogue group which formed after Governor Dayton’s 2012 pocket veto of legislation which would have created a presumption of 35 percent parenting time.” Read the full story here.
