Are you unsure of the difference between physical and legal custody, and how physical custody relates to parenting time and child support? Do you wonder if your children can, or should, decide where they want to live? Would you like to know the process for working with your soon-to-be ex to create a custody plan specific to the needs of your children? Do you wonder if you need to leave the home, it will be considered as abandoning your children?

Please be aware that some of this information may be specific to the statutes in the state of Minnesota. 

About the Guest:

Jennifer Nixon

Jennifer decided at a young age to pursue a career in the law, telling friends and family members since she was a teenager that she wanted to be a divorce attorney. After earning her degree in Criminology and Political Science from the University of Minnesota-Duluth, she graduated from William Mitchell College of Law, where she worked as a research assistant for the Dean of the college.

Jennifer brings energy and compassion to her work, assisting clients with their personal matters, including family law. Jennifer is a trained member of the Collaborative Law Institute, helping clients divorce with dignity and respect. Where the collaborative process is not the right fit for clients, she provides advocacy through a court-based process. Jennifer listens to her clients to provide an individualized approach that best fits her clients’ goals and addresses their concerns.
