In any
divorce case where children are involved, the parties need to make some
decision on who will pay the relative expenses of the children and whether
one parent will pay child support to the other. Generally parents are
allowed to reach any agreement that they wish to reach. However, when
there are children involved, the Court will review their agreement to
make sure there is adequate support for the children. To help determine
whether there is adequate support, Minnesota, like many states, has
adopted child support guidelines. To calculate child support under
the guidelines go to childsupportcalculator.dhs.state.mn.us
