Non-biological father forced to make child support payments | Sheridan & Dulas, P.A

1) That was was not in Minnesota - the Nebraska Supreme Court issued that ruling. It merely involved a man from Minnesota, not Minnesota jurisprudence.

2) The man in that case legally acknowledged his paternity in 1995 by signing a notarized document affirming his paternity. In this thread, the OP claims that his paternity was established merely because the mother named him on the birth certificate as the father (as I pointed out above, this cannot be so, for in Minnesota the name of the father on a birth certificate is not legally binding).

More relevant is, in the Nebraska case, the man waiting for 16 years before challenging paternity. He simply waited too long. There are statutes of limitations, after all. Fraud, in Minnesota? The statute of limitations is six years. Rape? Nine years. Even wrongful death, in Minnesota, has a statute of limitations of no more than six years. And I think we can all agree that being raped or wrongfully killed are just a wee bit worse than having to pay child support for someone who isn't one's child.
