Child Support & Spousal Support

Child Support | Spousal Support/Maintenance/Alimony

Our family law attorneys believe in realistic support solutions. We listen carefully and compassionately to you. We educate you regarding the Minnesota guidelines for child support and the factors considered for spousal support/maintenance.

At Mundahl and Wagner, P.A., our lawyers work hard to ensure that child support and spousal support awards are consistent with Minnesota law and that we obtain the best possible result for you within the law.

Child Support

There are many factors that affect child support, including child custody and the Minnesota income-based formulas used to determine child support. Our child support attorneys help you understand what information the court needs to consider a motion for a post-judgment modification of child support. We help you understand how support obligations are enforced.

Spousal Support/Maintenance/Alimony

In Minnesota, there is no set earnings-based formula for spousal support as there is for child support. An amount can be negotiated between the parties or decided by a court — but the number is dependent on factors such as the length of the marriage, the financial need of the spouse seeking support, the support recipient's employment prospects and the payor's ability to pay spousal support.

We help you understand the differences between temporary, rehabilitative and permanent spousal maintenance.
