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 moved in with me full time due to the unsuitability of her living arrangements (living in the basement with another family, not having his own space, etc..)

My objective is to have the court recognize the fact that he does not spend any time in her care, as such having me pay child support for him is unjustified.

He is taking college classes concurrent with high school (PSEO) 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.

I asked this same question, but failed to realize I left out the fact he lives full time with me. Sorry about that.

Thanks again in advance!!

I am not sure why you would feel there is a need for a great deal of evidence when you and the mother and the teen all know what are the facts. I urge you to have attorney assistance at this time, to discuss your concerns and so that you receive detailed attorney legal counsel.
