Family Law Forum
Winter 2012-13
Volume 21, No.1
Letter From the Editor This edition has combined two topics: Alternative Caregivers; and Family Law and the Baby Boomer. In the Alternative Caregiver articles we deal with situations where non-parents who have a special relationship with children rely on us, as attorneys, to assist them in navigating the court process. Issues that particularly affect the unique facts and circumstances of our boomer clients are covered in our Family Law and the Baby Boomer articles. In this issue you will also find a new feature to the Forum called a View from the Front Row. This will be an article written from the perspective of the judicial law clerks who watch all of us every day in courtrooms across Minnesota. Law clerks have the opportunity to see some attorneys who excel at their craft, and some who don’t. We created this column to take advantage of their observations and insight while sitting in the “front row.” The first article has been written by our vice chair of publications, Larry McGee, based on his recent experience as a law clerk in Hennepin County. We are seeking to have law clerks from different counties throughout the state share their experiences and observations with us. In our next edition we’re planning to address Child Support and Spousal Maintenance issues. We anticipate a February, 2013 publication date. If you’re interested in writing on this topic, please feel free to contact me at twolter@mnfamilylaw.com or Larry McGee at lmcgee@mnfamilylaw.com to let us know what subject you’d like to cover.

Articles Front Row: Hennepin County A fair number of custody cases are heard by judges as emergencies in which a party asks for emergency ex parte relief to either change custody from one parent to another, or from a parent to a third-party. The call from the “door phone” back into chambers often comes at 2:15 on a Friday afternoon, “My case has been assigned to your judge and I need emergency custody today.” Read more.....
