What can happen under Minnesota law when an extra-marital relationship produces a child?  In situations like former U.S. Senator and presidential candidate, John Edwards, once a man is legally determined to be the biological father in Minnesota, he is responsible for payment of child support using the same presumptive guidelines that apply to children of a marriage upon divorce.  In paternity actions, the biological father may also be required to pay child support retroactively.  The child also has the right of inheritance.
