Paternity in Minnesota
(provided by Eric C. Nelson, Esq.)
The days of factual disputes over paternity are long gone, as the issue of biological paternity is now decided by DNA, which is hard to argue with.
Disputes may still arise as a matter of law where, for example, one man is presumed the father because of DNA, and another is presumed the father by reason of marriage. For reasons of public policy, the biological father does not always prevail.
With respect to corollary issues of child custody and child support, etc., these are all decided pursuant to the same law that governs children born of marriage.
