Supreme Court of Minnesota

Leslie E. Sheehy Lee, Appellant, vs. Travis W. Kalis, Respondent, County of Le Sueur, Respondent

April 9, 2025

Summary

The Supreme Court held that extrajudicial agreements to modify a child‑support order are invalid as a matter of law and that Minnesota Statutes §518A.39, subd. 2(l) applies only to subsequent court‑issued orders, not to private modifications. Accordingly, the Court reversed the Court of Appeals and remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
