Legal services and help for you!

Our speaker at Teen MOPS tonight shared several helpful links during her talk about legal services and rights. Also included below are some contact info for some local resources that may help you with any legal issues as well.

Below are a few of those links with descriptions of what information those links have.


www.mncourts.gov
This site contains court forms, information and definitions of legal terms, addresses, filing fees, etc.
"A Parental Guide to Making Child-Focused Parenting Time Decisions" is also available to download and print off on this site. This pamphlet provides information on parenting time schedules that may be appropriate for children, based on their age, the location of the parents, etc.

www.dhs.state.mn.us
This site has information about paternity, child support, applying for public assistance benefits, child protection, etc. The site also provides some forms, such as the Recognition of Parentage.

http://childsupportcalculator.dhs.state.mn.us
This is the online child support calculator that the court uses to determine child support payments. If you know the other parent's income information, you can follow the instructions and enter the numbers to see what the appropriate amount of child support may be.
