Child Support
Every child deserves financial support from both parents. Devoted parents can be loving and supportive forces in a child's life, and they need to work together to support their child.
Child support is money courts order one parent to pay their child's other parent or caregiver to support their child when the parents don't live together. The Minnesota Department of Children, Youth, and Families Child Support Division and county and Tribal child support agencies work with both parents to establish and enforce these orders.
