- Mn. Statute 518.64 is the modification of child support statute.
- The Mn. Statute which relates to $support v. $income is 518.551
- (at least that`s where the table is)
-
- In 518.551 Subd. 5, it also states "....The court shall approve a
- child support agreement of the parties if each party is represented
- by independent counsel, unless the agreement is not in the interest
- of justice. ...."
-
- It seems to me that this should provide for deviation from the
- guidelines in cases of shared custody.....of course, IF the agreement
- can be reached. Note, however, the use of the word "shall", it is
- not "may". Thus the onus is on the court to demonstrate injustice
- if it chooses not to accept the agreement.
