Minnesota Instructions — Motion to Modify Child Support and/or Spousal Maintenance is a legal document used in the state of Minnesota when parties need to request a change to an existing custodial arrangement or to modify the amount of money paid for support. This document can be used to modify either child support or spousal maintenance payments. There are two types of motions: Motion to Modify Child Support and Motion to Modify Spousal Maintenance. The Motion to Modify Child Support outlines the reasons why the change is necessary, such as changes in the financial situation of either party, changes in the needs of the children, or changes in the amount of time spent with each parent. The Motion also includes a request for a specific amount of money to be paid for child support. The Motion to Modify Spousal Maintenance includes the reasons why the change is necessary, such as changes in the financial situations of the parties, changes in the needs of the parties, or changes in the amount of time spent with each party. The Motion also includes a request for a specific amount of money to be paid for spousal maintenance. Both motions must be filed with the court, and the judge will review the case and make a decision on whether to approve or deny the motion. If approved, the new arrangement will be put into effect and both parties will be expected to adhere to the new terms.
