Types of Child Custody Cases We Handle
Physical Custody
Physical custody determines where a child will live. Maury works to secure arrangements that ensure stability and allow you to maintain a meaningful relationship with your child.
Legal Custody
Legal custody involves decision-making authority over important aspects of a child’s life, such as education, healthcare, and religion. Maury helps parents establish or modify agreements that reflect the best interests of the child.
Joint Custody
In joint custody cases, both parents share responsibilities and time with their children. Maury advocates for agreements that foster cooperation while prioritizing the child’s needs.
Sole Custody
Sole custody cases require demonstrating that one parent should have exclusive rights to physical and/or legal custody. Maury provides experienced representation to help you make your case effectively.

How does Minnesota determine child custody?
Minnesota courts focus on the best interests of the child, considering factors such as the child’s relationship with each parent, the stability of the home environment, and each parent’s ability to meet the child’s needs.
Can custody arrangements be modified?
Yes, custody orders can be modified if there’s a significant change in circumstances, such as a relocation, change in the child’s needs, or a parent’s inability to fulfill their responsibilities.
What is the difference between legal and physical custody?
Physical custody determines where the child lives, while legal custody grants decision-making authority over the child’s education, healthcare, and other important matters. Both can be shared jointly or granted solely to one parent.
