Minnesota Paternity Law

Our firm has handled thousands of cases involving fathers asserting their rights concerning Minnesota paternity law. We have filed paternity complaints containing requests for adjudication, blood tests, custody rights, parenting time schedules, and appropriate child support. We have also represented clients who have been served with a complaint, but deny their paternity.

As mothers will typically have the County Attorney's Office aligned on their side in a paternity action, it is imperative that fathers, whether they are seeking or denying paternity, have strong representation. Fathers need to know that, according to Minnesota paternity law, they could be on the hook for as much as:

• Two years of retroactive support payments
• Confinement or birthing expenses
• Related medical costs
• Prior child care costs
• Reimbursement for public assistance provided to mothers

It is very important to understand that Minnesota paternity law gives unmarried fathers no custodial rights, unless they affirmatively seek such rights. Child Support, however, may be taken from a father even before his legal rights to see his child are established.
