Saint Paul, MN asked in Child Custody and Child Support for Minnesota

Q: I have a 17 1/2 year old son who lives with his mother in Dothan. He quit school at 16 and now wants to come to MN.

I have joint legal custody and pay child support. She agrees to our son to come and finish school here in MN. He will be coming 8/31. Do I need anything in writing?

A: Depends on the language of any existing order, but you would likely need to petition the court for the move. I am unsure where the proper venue for this case might be because there is not enough information - could be Minnesota, could be Alabama.
