Markiewicz Law - Now Partner with Meagher & Geer, PLLP Obtaining A Fair Child Support Order
In Minnesota, child support is determined by statutory guidelines. Generally speaking, the court will adhere closely to these guidelines, though it can depart from them in certain circumstances. Factors that determine the amount of child support include the parents’ incomes, the percentage of time the child lives with each parent, and the cost of child care and medical insurance.
However, there can be much more to child support. Who gets to claim the tax exemption for the child? What if one parent’s income decreases or increases significantly? What if a parent falls behind in child support payments? What if a parent is trying to hide income to avoid paying support?
