FAQ
The biological father has no legal rights to the child or responsibilities to financially support the child, even if his name is on the child's birth certificate. The birth certificate alone is not enough to establish a legal father.
An Affidavit of Parentage is typically signed at the hospital after the birth of the child.
An affidavit of service shall describe what was served, state how the document was served, upon whom it was served, and the date, time, and place of service.
You can download the Recognition of Parentage Form and Instructions on the MN Dept. of Children, Youth, and Families website. You can also get the form at your local County Child Support office. Hospitals often provide the ROP form to parents at the child's birth.
Minnesota's voluntary acknowledgement allows an unmarried person who gave birth and the child's biological father to sign a Minnesota Voluntary Recognition of Parentage (PDF) (ROP) form. When the ROP form is filed with MDH, we will add the father to the birth record, legally establishing the father's paternity.
By law, if the mother and the father of a child were not married at the time of the child's birth, the mother has sole custody of the child until a court issues a custody order. This is true even if the parents have signed a Recognition of Parentage and both names appear on the child's birth certificate.

In Minnesota, there is not set age limit on when a child can decide which parent to live with. The court will consider the child's wishes to the extent that the child is sufficiently mature to express reasoned and independent preferences as to the parenting time schedule.
What you're asking is then can one parent withhold the children when it is time for the other parent to have parenting time? No, that is called interference with parental custody and it is a crime.
