Legal Question in Family Law in Minnesota

There is no way to know whether child support may be lowered without knowing the income of both parties. However, Minnesota Statutes state specifically that - "A child support order is not presumptively modifiable solely because an obligor or obligee becomes responsible for the support of an additional nonjoint child, which is born after an existing order." In other words, a new family and a new child alone would not be a basis to modify. A step child does not in any way affect child support.
