Child support is only awarded to people under court order by a judge. Only the person who has been ordered by the court to do so is responsible for the continued payment of child support, and only to the parent to whom it was initially ordered in court, unless that final decree has been modified within the court room and approved by the presiding judge.

The grandparents should consult with an attorney. The factors considered in Minnesota for grandparent visitation rights include determination of whether one of the child's parents is deceased, or a parent has had his or her parental rights terminated. The court must also consider the relationship between the grandparent and grandchild.
