Recent Media Appearances

Family Law attorney Chris Banas recently appeared on WCCO-TV in a special report about new Minnesota divorce laws:

"Divorce is emotional, custody battles are emotional. When you mix the facts with the case, when you're talking about dollars and children, it's emotional," said Banas, one of Minnesota Law & Politics' "Rising Stars" picks of the year. Banas said for every one of his male clients that feels he got a raw deal, he works with a female client who feels cheated as well.  "I've seen both sides," he said. . .The new law took effect just over a year ago in January 2007. One of the law's two major new features is that both parents' incomes are now considered to determine child support.  "That in and of itself is a revolutionary change with respect to Minnesota and how they've approached child support," said Banas.
