I have a court order for form * to provide that to my son’s dad. My son is *, and has never met his dad. I don’t want to mail the form, but his dad says he will get law involved if I don’t mail the form. Will I get in trouble if I don’t mail the form and make him meet to get the form?

Hello ****, in Minnesota:
- Ignoring a court order can lead to contempt of court.
- The court order must be followed unless the judge changes it.
- You may request a modification if you have concerns about your son's safety.
I suggest consulting with a local attorney for advice tailored to your situation.
I’m not ignoring it, it says nothing in the court document that I have to mail the form. Just says I have to sign it. And I did. He refused to get it.
Hello ****, if the court order doesn't specify the method of delivery, you're generally not obligated to mail it. However, for your protection, ensure you have proof of offering the form. Consult an attorney for specific advice.
It just says to provide him. And I have provided my signature and the form. He is just refusing.
Hello ****, if you've offered the form and he's refusing, you've fulfilled your obligation. Document all your attempts to provide it as evidence. Be sure to consult a local attorney for tailored advice.
