Legal Question in Family Law in Minnesota

Hello. I presume you are referring to a minor. The general rule is that notice of your legal action seeking to change the name of the child must be made or attempted to be made in the manner prescribed by Minnesota law. There are exceptions to the rule and those exceptions are decided by a judge or referee. In the event that you have concerns or worries regards your personal circumstances, please do contact a private attorney for private assistance and legal counsel. If money is a concern, some attorneys (not all) will consider your finances in assisting you and some attorneys (not all) will offer 'limited scope' legal help. I would be pleased to try to help you. Tricia Dwyer, Esq. at 612-296-9666.
