This handbook gives you general information about child support and is not legal advice. Minnesota s Department of Human Services Child Support Enforcement Division and county child support offices cannot give you legal advice on how to proceed with your specific case. Since parentage and child support are serious issues, you may wish to contact an attorney.
Every child needs financial and emotional support.
Every child has the right to this support from both parents. Devoted parents can be a loving and supporting force in a child s life. Even when parents do not live together, they need to work together to support their child. You make a difference in your children s lives. Be there for them.
