Legal Question in Family Law in Minnesota

When multiple counties Child Support Enforcement agencies, from two or more states, violate the FFCCSOA (Full Faith and Credit for Child Support Orders Act); and each individual county agency enforces an entirely seperate order for Support (for the same child) does a respondent (acting Pro Se) have any recourse?

Hello. Due to the complexity of the legal issues you raise, and lack of knowledge of the full details of the Respondent's assertions of violations, I most certainly recommend that the Respondent seek private attorney counsel and advice with no delay. You state that the Respondent is self-represented (pro se, which is Latin and means 'for himself/herself'), so I urge that the Respondent phone several attorneys seeking a private legal consultation. Not all attorneys will assist 'pro se' persons; I myself most certainly do. The reason to phone several attorneys is to ensure the Respondent feels comfortable and a sense of trust with the attorney he/she chooses to assist him/her. The attorney will listen and ask questions, review all existing relevant documentation, and provide legal counsel and advice. The communication with the attorney has the protections of attorney-client confidentiality. All the best.
