Property division in a divorce is not as simple as it might seem
Last week this blog covered the factors that Minnesota courts may consider when determining how to appropriately divide a couple's property in a divorce. However, not all couples need to go before a judge to have such decisions made.

What is a Recognition of Parentage in Minnesota?
In Minnesota, when unmarried parents have a child, and later separate, it is important that legal parentage is established. One way to do this is to sign and file a Recognition of Parentage form. This form establishes a legal relationship between an unmarried biological father and his child. Both the father and the mother must sign the form. After that, the form is filed with the Office of Vital Records. Once this is done, the man is considered the child's father for legal purposes.

However, Minnesota Statutes dictate what factors such a plan must address.
