Q: I am not married to the mother of my 2 children in MN. What do I need to do to have my rights?
I am not on my older child's birth certificate, but I am on my youngest. She is threatening to leave the state.
A:
It seems you will need to establish paternity as to the oldest and get a custody order as to both. Take care. Rob Kane. Minnesota Family Law Attorney. You can get the help of a limited-scope lawyer, which means that the lawyer helps you as a coach or advisor, and you still represent yourself, or you can hire the lawyer to handle only certain parts of your case that are too complicated for you to do yourself.
