Minneapolis Paternity

Establishing paternity is a legal process to establish or identify the biological father of a child. A man can seek to establish a legal recognition that he is the father of a child even if the mother denies this legal relationship. Often, paternity issues arise when child support is sought. Establishment of paternity is also important, however, in determining the rights and responsibilities of each parent in areas such as adoption, health care, custody, parenting time and inheritance. It is also important to a child’s identity as he or she grows older.

At Napuck Law Offices, P.A., we work with mothers and fathers to first seek cooperative and creative solutions to aspects of the parent-child relationship beyond financial considerations through negotiation and agreement or through mediation. If parenting and financial topics cannot be resolved outside of court, Geri has the experience to proceed with a paternity action in court.
