Legal Question in Family Law in Minnesota

I am trying to have the court modify a child support order on the basis that my oldest son (he will be 18 in june) no longer lives at all with his mother. he is taking college classes in lieu of highschool so school records are useless as evidence re: where he lives. What can I use as evidence that he no longer lives with her for any amount of time? I was thinking an affidavit from him.

Thanks in advance!!

Proof may be of various sorts. It would be critically important that the motion be carefully prepared. One wonders if your goal and aim is to have child support be paid to the proper person, or to seek to end your obligation. I urge you to seek attorney counsel at this time.
