Minnesota Child Support Attorney
A legal responsibility that both parents have to provide adequate financial support for the children until each reaches the age of emancipation (In MN, this is at the age of 18). The goal is to keep the children in the same quality of lifestyle that they would have experienced had the divorce not taken place.

The issue of child support is very important in a divorce for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, support payments are intended to provide for the wellbeing and development of the children. Also, though, child support obligations can be misused as a weapon by one party or the other. It is important that this obligation be accurate and understood so as to prevent placing the children in a precarious position and a misuse of support as leverage. At Hoffman Law Offices, our child support attorneys can assist a parent in obtaining an order for the appropriate amount of child support and in making sure the order gets enforced.
