How to Establish Child Support in Missouri

In Missouri, child support is established based on the non-custodial parent's income. The court will look at the income of the non-custodial parent and determine a percentage of that income that will be used to support the child or children. The court will also look at the needs of the child or children and determine how much of the non-custodial parent's income will be used to meet those needs. After this point, the court will determine how much of the non-custodial parent's income will be used for child support. This amount will then be divided by the number of children involved.

How to Modify Child Support in Missouri

The court can modify child support when there is a substantial change in the circumstances of either parent. A significant change in circumstances includes:

  • A change in employment.
  • A change in the cost of living.
  • A change in the needs of the children.

After a substantial change in circumstances occurs, the non-custodial parent can petition the court to modify the child support order. The court will then determine whether or not to modify the order.
