Terms Used In Minnesota Statutes 518.612

  • Parenting time: means the time a parent spends with a child regardless of the custodial designation regarding the child. See Minnesota Statutes 518.003
  • state: extends to and includes the District of Columbia and the several territories. See Minnesota Statutes 645.44

(1) interference with parenting time; or

(2) without the permission of the court or the other parent, removing a child from this state.

Interference with parenting time or taking a child from this state without permission of the court or the other parent is not a defense to nonpayment of support. If a party fails to make support payments, interferes with parenting time, or removes a child from the state without permission of the court or the other parent, the other party may petition the court for an appropriate order.
