Minnesota requirements and review scope

Minnesota Child Support Guidelines Worksheet using each party’s PICS. Use Minnesota Statutes §§ 518A.29–518A.35 to determine the amounts counted for each party.
Wages, dividends, interest, business earnings, and other countable income are added separately for each party. Enter each dollar once; do not repeat business profit as an owner distribution.
General asset balances, loan balances, and household spending are not collected in this support-calculation workflow. Enter countable earnings from assets. A separate court financial affidavit may require additional disclosures.
Business and rental deductions must be expenses allowed for support, which can differ from tax-return deductions. Do not deduct personal living expenses as business expenses.
Uses Minn. Stat. § 518A.35 basic support guideline table.
Minnesota determines each parent’s parental income for determining child support (PICS), combines monthly PICS, looks up the basic support obligation for one through six joint children, and divides basic support by each parent’s proportionate share.
For combined monthly PICS over $20,000, the statute presumes the $20,000 table amount unless an excess amount is demonstrated under § 518A.43.
Parenting expense adjustment under § 518A.36, nonjoint-child deductions, child care, medical support, split custody, third-party custody and deviations require the full Minnesota calculator/worksheet.

The available formula is a limited base calculation. Full parity with every line of the official worksheet, custody arrangement, tax computation, credit, and discretionary adjustment has not been verified. Review the stated limitations and the official sources.
