This data set provides address state and country, plus ZIP code for only addresses in the seven county metro area of the Twin Cities of Minnesota. The data set also includes state and/or country of birth, primary language, and indicates the need for an interpreter for verbal communications for each case participant. Case Participants include the custodian parent (parent or caretaker who the child resides with), non-custodial parent (the parent who may have an obligation to pay child support), and each child under age 22. This data set does not include children in open cases who are over the age of 22. For most U.S. States, the emancipation age does not exceed the age of 22. Children are no longer active in child support cases once they are emancipated. The emancipation age differs for each U.S. State.
