What are the rules about child support in Missouri?
Like all states, Missouri requires both parents to support their children after a divorce. The amount of child support depends primarily on each parent’s income and other resources, as well as how much time each parent spends with the children. In addition, sometimes the courts will “impute” income to a parent who has the capacity to earn more than he or she actually is earning. Does Missouri have resources for do-it-yourself divorce? Yes. You can usually get fill-in-the-blank forms at your local courthouse or the local law library. For your convenience, we have a sample Free Missouri Divorce Form here.
