What is Child Support?
Child support consists of court-ordered payments made by one parent to the other parent for raising the child. Child support is to be used for the child’s basic needs, including food, shelter, and clothing.
Child support is based on the income of both parents and the amount of time the child spends with each party. The basic idea is that a child should have the same financial resources as if their parents were married. These resources include housing, clothing, education, food, and more.
Calculating Child Support Costs
The child support guidelines established by Minnesota law are used to calculate child support. The three main parts used to calculate child support costs are basic support, medical support, and child care support. Basic support includes expenses for housing, school, food, clothing, transportation, etc. Medical support is any medical/dental insurance costs and all uninsured medical/dental costs related to the child. Child care support refers to expenses incurred by parents for daycare for their children. The child support guidelines have been incorporated into a child support guidelines calculator, which is available to the public online.
