Paternity Lawyers & Attorneys
In Minnesota, if the father is present at the child’s birth, both parents signed a Recognition of Parentage, which serves to establish paternity for purposes of establishing child support. However, a father has no legally enforceable rights at all to that child until and unless these are ordered by the Court. The parents can agree to a parenting plan and file that agreement with the Court, but until this Agreement is part of a Court Order, the mother is considered to have sole legal and physical custody of the child. As an attorney handling paternity matters for more than 15 years, Lisa Kallemeyn can help both parents decide on a child-focused custody and parenting time agreement.
