Minnesota Child Support Attorney
In Minnesota, the child support guidelines are usually applied when setting child support. The Minnesota Department of Human Services Child Support Guidelines Calculator is provided here for your reference.
The team at Binder Law Offices will take the time to explain each item on the calculator and discuss how each variable might affect the amount of support.
The variables that weigh most heavily in the determination of child support include:
- Parenting time, which is the amount of time the children are scheduled to spend with each parent. This variable correlates to physical custody and parenting time.
- The number of children who will be receiving support.
- Child care costs which is the total amount paid for child care for the parties' children.
- Medical and dental insurance premiums which is the amount a parent pays for the children's medical and dental insurance premiums.
Even though the child support guidelines calculator seems straightforward at first, an experienced lawyer can help you determine the correct amounts to include. Items such as health insurance and day care support need to be researched in order to accurately state dollar figures. Our staff can help you work through this document, answering any questions you might have.
