At the Law Office of Stacy K. Morgan, P.A., we emphasize our dedication to providing personalized guidance. We thoroughly guide you through the legal process of establishing child support under Minnesota guidelines and address any concerns you have along the way. Minnesota child support guidelines include three components of support.
- Basic support: Minnesota child support guidelines use a formula that includes the income of both parents and the number of children being supported to calculate basic child support obligations. Once the basic support is calculated, additional deductions for visitation/parenting time, child care and health care coverage are made.
- Child care support: Child care can be expensive, but essential. Minnesota's child support laws attempt to divide child care costs between parents by including a child care support provision within the child support guidelines.
- Medical support: It is essential that the child has sufficient health care coverage. Therefore, the court will determine which parent should carry health care coverage for the child. If necessary, adjustments can be made to child support obligations to reflect medical support.
It is understandable that the child support may need to be revisited as jobs and incomes change and as there are changes made to parenting schedules. We assist clients with these modifications of child support orders.
