3.
Which state decides the child support amount?
If you do not have an child support order, the law requires the child support office to determine which state sets the child support amount based on the facts of your case.
4.
Can my child support amount be changed?
Your case can be reviewed for a modification at either parent's request. In Minnesota, the child support amount can go up or down based on many factors. Each state has its own court system with varying laws and practices.
5.
Will I have to go to the other state?
The Uniform Interstate Family Support Act does not require your physical presence for court hearings, however you may be asked to be available by telephone for court hearings.
6.
Are child support laws the same in every state?
Laws regarding child support vary from state to state. The Uniform Interstate Family Support Act helps states work together more efficiently and effectively.
7.
I have a child support order from one state, but neither of us lives in that state. Is the court order still good?
If parents move from the state that issued their child support order, child support is still due under the order and the order may be enforced no matter where the parents live.
