Legal Question in Family Law in Minnesota

Re: legal age child

There is no specific age in Minnesota. As the child grows older, the Court gives greater weight to a children's wishes, but that is only one factor considered by the Court in considering the child's best interests.

Re: legal age child

A child never gets to make that decision until they are 18. Instead, court orders must be followed unless or until they are modified by a new court order. They may be modified if the change is determined to be in the child's best interests. As part of that process, the court will consider the desires of a child that is of suitable age and maturity. As the child matures, the more persuasive their opinion may be, but in the end, the court must consider all factors when rendering its decision.
