Q.  Fathers never get custody, right?

A.  That's not true. Fathers do get custody of their children, However, the law states that all custody decisions must be made according to "the best interests of they child" and every decision depends on the circumstances of each case.  Child custody matters are decided on a very individual basis. Contact Minnesota divorce attorney Ann Barker to discuss your child custody options.
