Legal Question in Family Law in Minnesota
My ex is living in his mother's basement with my 3 year old daughter. One bedroom doesn't have a window at all and the other is not big enough to escape if there were a fire. There is an egress window in the kitchen but it's in between the fridge and stove. The exit door to escape to go upstairs is right next to the kitchen not even two feet away. Can this be considered child endangerment since the apt. Will not pass the counties codes. And what can I do about it? I told him I didn't want here down there since there wouldn't be an escape plan for the layout.

You may request a police welfare and safety check. Local municipal or other authorities may seek an inspection. You may contact child welfare with no delay: Child welfare is available 24-7. You may contact a private attorney for assistance.

It is unlikely to be considered child endangerment. It may be something a court considers regarding parenting issues and parenting time if presented as part of a Motion. You may wish to mediate the issue/ In all likelihood, a court will require mediation to occur before it addresses the issue.
