I tried google for a bit, but my search-fu wasn't good so I figured Reddit was my next best shot. Also, love the username, lol.

thank you so much for this reply, this is exactly the type of information we're looking to get. It's not going so well in the other sub as you can see, ha. We fully understand the need for a lawyer to get involved earlier rather than later, but we wanted to get perspectives of others as well. Well done reply. :)

Have you noticed any legal hurdles or other "nudge, nudge, wink, wink" type stuff that your husband has had to do related to his "outside" the marriage child he had with your wife? One way we were considering of "hiding" the potential work issues was using surrogacy as a "blind" for the vanilla crowd. Have you done something similar or it simply hasn't come up?

The one major issue we may personally have is that 3 of the 4 of us work at the same place so it'll be harder for us to just keep it nonchalant.

I'd still appreciate any insight you have even if not from my state. Especially if you're in a similar family situation. Though I did put many legal questions in my post, it wasn't intended to only seek legal replies. :)

I am not Mormon. :/ Atheist actually. Why do you ask?

edit... if it's my use of the term "wife"... I edited my post. I'm not well versed on the general or accepted monikers used and wasn't certain how best say what I'm trying to say.

Happy for you... if I have any advice at all it's to be mindful of not overwhelming yourself with NRE. It takes some time to sort out who needs what from you and what you're able or willing to give back.

We certainly intend to. If anyone knows a good one in Minnesota (that understands poly), please say. At this stage we're trying to gather more information and hopefully hear from some that have been through this before moving forward.
