Legal Question in Family Law in Minnesota
step farther?
I married when my daughter was 14. I did not marry her biological father and the man I married never adopted her. I know that when we married he became her step father. She has grown up and become an adult. He and I have divorced. Now he says that he is still the kids grandfather and he has grandparents rights. I can not even see why he is still her stepfather much less her kids grand father. Is he her kids grandfather? Does he have the right to sue her for visitation? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Re: step farther?
A third party may seek visitation with a child under Minnesota Statutes Sec 257C.08 if the individual has resided with the child for two years. Whether that time is granted and to what degree a regular schedule is imposed is based upon what is in the child's best interests.

Your former spouse's visitation rights, if any, would be governed by Minnesota Statute section 257C.08 which provides that a child must have resided with a non-grandparent for at least two years (for grandparents it is one year) before that non-grandparent has any visitation rights.
