Father’s Rights

Clausen & Hassan, LLC is a divorce and family law firm that has represented hundreds of fathers in various family court proceedings involving legal custody, physical custody, parenting time and child support.  In addition, our attorneys have also handled numerous cases involving modification of legal custody, modification of physical custody and modification of child support.  Our attorneys zealously represent father rights in such family proceedings.  Minnesota’s family and divorce law is gender neutral and therefore a father or a mother should not be disadvantaged in custody or parenting time proceedings simply because of their gender.  However, in a Paternity proceeding (where the mother and father have not married each other), the mother automatically has sole legal and sole physical custody of the minor child.  The father of the minor child in such a situation must bring a Paternity proceeding to establish legal custody, physical custody and parenting time with the minor child.
