I assume that the attorney also told the court. The court will likely reschedule it for a mutually-agreeable date.
Strangely enough, adultery isn't an offense for married men. The statute is incredibly outdated and sexist and frankly, I have never seen a woman charged with adultery in the 20 or so years that I have practiced as an attorney. Incest in Minnesota is a crime as well, but the blood... Read more »
My son is 17 and his father n i divorced 16 yrs ago. Im in Minnesota
Physical custody has little meaning in MN and is unrelated to medical info. The question is legal custody. If you have joint legal, he would generally have a right to the info.
She has them on her medical insurance and I pay the daycare. We are still currently living together but I’m looking at moving out but in the same town so that the convenience for her if she needs help with anything and for the kids. I just want to know how we’d go about making an agreement or... Read more »
You can jointly petition the court to establish custody, parenting time, and child support. If paternity has not been adjudicated, you need to include that in your petition.
Daycare is one element of child support, as is insurance, and would be divided between you. You can get a... Read more »
My husband and I separated in October. He moved out and got an apartment. I am working on finding an attorney to get the divorce moving, but due to finding out I'm also pregnant has made that difficult. I would like to get the ball rolling and get the divorced finalized.
The two of you can divide property pretty much any way you wish (within reason). There is no requirement that one party “buy out” the other’s share of a home, or that property division be equal.
Generally, one party might take other property (stocks, retirement, etc) in lieu of... Read more »
Anymore does he still have to pay child support even if he isn’t the biological father but he wanted to be in the birth certificates of both my children
Simply being on the birth certificate is insufficient to establish legal paternity. No child support would be ordered without an adjudication of paternity.
Family members got guardianship? Woyld you not be aware of criminal proceedings and would you get a care taker without your permission or your say so to whom it may be. Could law keep threatening daily with warrants and family
This question is incredibly confusing. It's unclear what is being asked. Criminal charges and a guardianship are two entirely different things and are unrelated to each other. A warrant could certainly be issued if you missed a court hearing on a criminal matter, but that has nothing to do... Read more »
Divorced (as Respondent) in April, 2000 after 1 year of marriage, 1 child, and 3 years of legal dissension re child support, visitation, and property division.

It would be wise to at least set up a consultation with a family law attorney.
I have a question regarding a custody agreement. It's joint physical joint legal. Custody order exchange on Sundays at 11:00 a.m. however the mother is habitually late all the time and has recently even missed her scheduled Holidays. Makeup days as written in custody order must be mutually... Read more »
You should review your custody agreement with an attorney. They will be able to accurately advise you.
She wants me to pay for the remaining of her car notes $5000 and her attorney fees. married in 2015 and she never lived with me, she always at her parents's house and maybe slept over a couple of days. She never paid any bills in the house as i took care of everything. She leased the Car... Read more »
You should retain an experienced family law attorney to help you navigate these issues.
My fiancé is having problems with the mother of his child with custody she hasn’t follow any court orders and refusing to give him his parenting time but he has proof of it judge doesn’t allow him to present it in court .
There could be an issue with the way he is attempting to present the evidence. Courts have specific rules about how evidence can be entered into the record. He should hire an attorney to assist because attorneys know those rules.
I think your post has at least one typo in it which makes it difficult to understand and impossible to answer. Try posting again.
My 11 year old step son has sent his dad and I an audio recording of his mom and her boyfriend fighting (video really but it is in his pocket so only audio is usable). They break several court orders from past custody disputes. When we asked him why he recorded this he said he wanted to make sure... Read more »
This question is very hypothetical. You can use any evidence in court that you can get in over objections.
My son is 23 years old, works as a delivery driver and pays no rent to his mother. His tax return was ...significant. However, I was laid off in March due to the pandemic lock-downs, and my job officially ended as the June riots destroyed my place of work. Needless to say how hard it was to see... Read more »
The payout is going to be redirected because you have the back payments owing. Unfortunately, the state will not care much that you lost your job.
And have their boyfriend come to the door To drop off a gift? Also are they allowed to try to contact you via 3rd party considering they are the ones who placed the order of protection on you?
An OFP is a one way street. The protected party is not prohibited from doing anything. They can call, text, send gifts, visit etc. None of that is a violation of the OFP. However, if the other party responds to contact initiated by the protected party, it is a crime. A first violation in 10... Read more »
Now she says I can only see them Outdoors and 6' away. I have a court order granting me visitation without stipulation other than date/time arrangement. I work from home and have not ventured out during this time. I think I should be allowed to have my kids in my home. Can she mandate this?
No she cannot and by doing so she is in violation of the court order as it applies to your parenting time. I currently know of no judicial officers who are suspending a parent's time with the children, or putting such drastic restrictions upon how and where it occurs, because of the pandemic....

Is there any way to appeal or overturn the original court order from 2017?
I do not have the information about the case to give a definitive answer. However, a judge can after a review of all the evidence and testimony decide that parent (biological or not) is the de facto custodian of a child. Since the court order was in 2017, the appeal period has passed, although an... Read more »
She was just in jail for Meth, Running from law, Hiding a fugitive and driving when she doesn’t have a license. We live in MN. Her probation officer said that it was best for her to come out but everyone else I talk to disagrees. If we talk more I can give more details but I need to know how to... Read more »
I would be more than happy to speak with you, as would many of the attorneys on this site. You need some help to get this done. This is difficult situation. When do you turn 18? Are you currently emancipated? Those would be good first steps. Do you think your mother would agree to you... Read more »
I have a younger "brother". He is my cousin but was legally adopted my parents when he was 16 years old. He has a child with a woman, who he is not/ was never married to. He may be seeking his visitation, I do not know what he is doing.
As the legal "aunt" is there a... Read more »
As the Aunt it would be very difficult to get visitation awarded. The court takes into consideration certain family relationships where the child has more of a parental relationship with say an aunt or a grandparent, but even then it is usually denied by the court. The best option is to try and... Read more »
