Hello. Yes, certainly you may seek changes to the existing agreements and court orders, including but not limited to the matter of child support. Your former spouse should not be your source of legal counsel: Your own attorney should be the one providing you with counsel and advice. Please contact a private attorney right away and she/he will be happy to help you. This website provides general information, not private legal advice. Some attorneys are available seven days for emergency legal needs. Many attorneys will confer initially at no charge. Then, if legal work is performed, some attorneys will provide a reduced fee for financial hardship. Some attorneys may also assist you in limited scope manner to conserve legal costs. All the best.

One way of determining how child support may change is to run the numbers through the child support calculator found on the Minnesota Department of Human Services website .
