How Does Child Support Work In Minnesota?
Child support means that children have adequate financial support to provide for them. It covers essentials such as housing, food, clothing, education and health care. In Minnesota, child support can be categorized into three types:
- Basic support: Covers the child’s basic living expenses.
- Medical support: Includes health insurance and medical costs.
- Childcare support: Addresses the cost of childcare while parents work or attend school.
Minnesota courts determine child support using a set of guidelines. These guidelines encompass parents’ income, the number of children in question, and the custody and visitation arrangement. These guidelines ensure a fair contribution from both parents towards their child’s well-being.
Helping You Modify Child Support When Needed
Life changes, and sometimes, so must your child support order. If there is a significant change in circumstances, such as a job loss or a change in parenting time, you may need to modify your child support arrangement. Our child support attorneys can guide you through this process, ensuring that modifications are handled smoothly and efficiently. They will help you understand what constitutes a significant change and assist you in filing the necessary paperwork to seek a modification.
Enforcing Payments If The Other Parent Is Not Complying
If you are not receiving the child support to which you are entitled, you likely feel stressed and frustrated. Our family law team can assist you in collecting unpaid child support by exploring legal options to enforce the order. Whether it is through wage garnishment or other enforcement measures, we are here to support you and ensure your children receive the financial support they deserve.
