Determining MN Child Support

Child support can be defined as money one parent pays to another to help support their minor children. This can include a monthly court-ordered amount of money that goes toward medical insurance or dental insurance. It can also include money used to help pay child care costs or school expenses. Minnesota laws understand that every child needs financial support & emotional support from both parents, even when they do not live together.

Child support is determined using a formula regulated by Minnesota state law. The dollar amount is determined by using each parent’s income. An experienced child support attorney can be very helpful in figuring out how this formula works for your individual case. Your attorney will be especially helpful if one parent is understating their income or not earning what they have the ability to earn.

Modifications to MN Child Support

Child support cases can be modified even after the divorce or break up is finalized. If there is a change in your circumstances a modification request can be made. Changes can include a significant increase or decrease in earnings by either parent or an issue of mistreatment of a child or risky behavior by either parent. There’s also the possibility of a cost-of-living increase in child support every 2 years. Both of these modifications need to be court ordered & would likely require the assistance of an experienced child support attorney.
