KAALtv.com - 6 News First Online
Excerpts:
Under the plan, Minnesota could move from basing support on a percentage of a non-custodial parent's income to a model that takes the income of both parents into account.

But DFL Senator Linda Berglin of Minneapolis is now sponsoring an income-shares bill she says is less harmful than previous proposals. Her bill could lower payments of parents with one child but raise them for parents of multiple children.
