Legal Question in Family Law in Minnesota

We have a Minnesota Court Order requiring the ex to pay child support. The child just returned to her home to reside and we are in the process of attempting to come to some settlement. In the meanwhile, their client sent a proposed order (which we did not agree upon or sign) to the child support office requesting that her client's child support obligation cease. This seems unethical to me...she knew that we were in the middle of negotiations and there is no signed court order stating to stop child support.

I don't think I can answer your question without more information regarding the facts in your case. That said, sending in a proposed order doesn't mean that it will become a Order. Also, the child support office enforces child support order, it does not issue the Orders. Child Support Orders are entered by a Child Support Magistrate or a District Court Judge. I recommend you consult with an experienced family law attorney.
