Adoption of a child creates a legal responsibility for financial support and a right to seek custody and parenting time.  In Minnesota, joint legal custody (major decision-making) is presumed absent specified circumstances.  In divorces like Madonna and Guy Ritchie, their adopted child stands in the same legal position as children born of their marriage.

The bottom line in these family law scenarios is that it does not matter legally in Minnesota if you are a celebrity.  The law applies equally to clients with multi-millions of dollars and to those with significantly less.

Whatever your situation, it is important to make informed decisions by consulting with and hiring an experienced family law attorney who listens carefully to your concerns, helps establish realistic goals and then seeks the best possible outcomes in your case.
