The short answer is that the fact your friend "needs" more child support is pretty irrelevant in Minnesota. I attached a link below that your friend can enter the numbers and see what happens.

I live and practice in Mankato and know where 2 of 3 Judges live and see them in social settings often. That alone is not a reason for recusal. What concerns me is the issue of lack of...

hmm...good question I've got to admit I've never had to answer one like this. I don't think a family law lawyer can give you a quick answer as we usually know about how to break the marriage up no how to celebrate the marriage.
