The Minnesota child support laws recommend using the Varying Percentage of Income Formula on the net income of parents for determining the child support liability.
- The amount to be paid by both the parents will vary based on the number of children.
- The financial resources and earning capacity of each parent will take into account for determining the amount.
- Primary health care, health insurance, and education will also be added to essential support obligations if found necessary by the court.
- In the case of unemployed parents, the court may draw up an estimate of potential income if such unemployment is proven to bogus.
