Legal Question in Family Law in Minnesota
Legal Separation
If my wife and I get a legal separation and she has a child with someone else, am I responsible in any way for that child? Could she come back at me for support of the child??

If the child is born during your marriage, you would be the presumed father. As a result, unless you file to disclaim paternity, you may be required to pay child support.

In Minnesota, the answer is, it depends on the facts even if you are legally separated. There is a whole statute on the subject. You need to call an attorney.
