Legal Question in Family Law in Minnesota
in my child custody cases, we put that the "significant other" can watch the child. how long do you have to be together to be considered a "significant other" in the state of mn.? my ex has moved his new girlfriend of not even a month in with him and she has been watching my child. I feel that this is wrong.

I am afraid that anyone you are romantically linked to could be considered a significant other. It is an undefined term and certainly not a term that has any legal significance.
The term is ambivalent and vague. You may seek legal action via your attorney to clarify and to alter terms. Speak to your attorney so she/he can assist and advise you.
