Bauerly v. Bauerly · 2009 1 citation

A child-support overpayment exists if the amount of father’s support obligation is corrected as of the date of the original dissolution judgment. Father argues that he overpaid child support because of the district court’s error in the original dissolution judgment and that he should be compensated for the overpayment under Minn. Stat. § 518A.52 (2008). Section 518A.52 requires that if an obligor has overpaid child support because of a modification or error in the amount owed, the public authority shall: (1) apply the amount of the overpayment to reduce the amount of child-support arrearages or debts owed to the obligee and (2) reduce the amount of child support remitted to the obligee by an amount no greater than 20 percent of current monthly support and remit the amount of the reduction to the obligor until the overpayment is reduced to zero.
