Legal Question in Family Law in Minnesota
Findings of fact vs conclusions of law.
In a request for an increase in child support the request was asked for a specific amount of time to go to school within the findings of fact section. That date has com and gone. In the conclusions of law section the request for increase was granted with no specific end date. My question, is the end date of the request in the findings of fact section enforceable by child support agency or do they only enforce conclusions of law?

The attorney assisting you would want to review the legal document for herself. So you know, one role of our attorney work is ever so carefully to draft legal documents. At times all out errors are made; at times word choice and phrasing are unclear or otherwise faulty or defective. Generally, conclusions of law state what is 'ordered', or 'awarded', and in the case of possible eventualities, infrequently the directive 'shall' is appropriately used. I suggest you pay a well experienced attorney to review your issues and concerns and provide you with a formal legal opinion.

Child support does not change automatically. If the parent who is going to school unnecessarily delayed their graduation date and/or the date to find employment, there may be a basis to modify child support, but you must file a Motion to do so. The child support office cannot modify child support on its own and it cannot seek to impose an obligation based on Findings of Fact.
