St. Louis Child Support Attorneys
Comprehensive Child Support Guidance Missouri
Parents have a legal obligation to financially support their children until the age of majority, 18 or 21, or they could face significant penalties. While child support in Missouri is determined under a "Schedule of Basic Child Support Obligations", every case is unique and will be settled based on a judge's order.
Factors Influencing Child Support in St. Charles County:
- Each parent's income levels
- The amount of time that each parent physically spends with the child
- The child's needs
- Child care costs
- The number of dependent children
Once divorce or legal separation paperwork has been filed, a parent may ask the court to order child support as well. If the parents are unmarried, paternity must be established first in order to protect each party's rights.
