Legal Question in Family Law in Minnesota
my ex-husband is an attorney. we have been divorced since Jan 2000. He has calculated his own child support every year, (he is a partner in a law firm and income changes yearly due to commission / bonus) without ever providing verification of any income / deductions even though I request them. He knows how much I need the income and just writes me a check knowing I will cash it. Can he do this?

Please do confer privately with an attorney and she/he will be happy to assist you and advise you.

No. Child support is set based on a court order. It can only be modified by a subsequent court order. That is generally accomplished by filing a motion. You are certainly entitled to any financial information related to a child support calculation.
