Minnesota Paternity Actions
In Minnesota if you are not married and have a child you will have to legally determine who the father is (even if there is no doubt in anyone's mind). Often at the hospital a Recognition Of Paternity Action (ROP) is signed by the father. a ROP will give basic and limited rights to fathers, usually limited to prohibiting the mother from giving the child up for adoption and requiring child support be paid.
A father must go to court and start a "paternity action" in court in order to establish:
- Legal Custody
- Physical Custody
- Parenting Time
Once the paternity action has been started in a Minnesota Court, the case proceeds like most custody cases, that is the court will use the Best Interest Standard to determine custody an parenting time.
