Attorneys Jill Frieders and Ashley Kuhn

Respected Rochester Child Support Attorneys

Last updated on April 23, 2025

When emotions flare in family disputes or divorce, a parent may try to weaponize child support negotiations as a way to punish the other parent, either by denying them the resources they need to provide for their children or by making them pay more than they can manage. Instead of allowing a child support resolution to threaten the well-being of yourself or your children, let a skilled Minnesota lawyer help you earn an outcome everyone can benefit from.

At Frieders & Kuhn, L.L.P., our law firm has been the legal guidance that Rochester families have been able to turn to since 1933. Our decades of experience act as an invaluable aid in the development of negotiating through family law matters and developing a strong case for litigation as well. When a judge needs to determine your child support, we are prepared to do everything we can to obtain favorable results.

How Is Child Support Calculated In Minnesota?

While every family situation is unique, some elements of child support are consistent, including the formula used to determine it. When a judge determines how much child support will be in your case, they will first consider several factors, including:

  • The income of each parent combined
  • The monthly income of the person paying the child support
  • The time the children spend living with each parent
  • The cost of health insurance
  • The cost of childcare

There are also minimums and maximums for how much a parent will pay.

When we represent you through your child support case, we will take the time to gather the accurate information a judge needs to come to an informed and accurate decision for your circumstances. Whether you will be paying or receiving support, you can rest easy knowing that someone you can count on is fighting for a fair amount.

Choose Someone To Look Out For Your Family

When you are navigating child support or other family law matters, you deserve to have a family law attorney who is compassionate about representing you and your children through all of the challenges.
