St. Charles Child Support Attorney

Seeking Child Support Payments? Call Us at (636) 400-1177.

If you and your spouse are getting a divorce and you share children, one of the issues you will have to discuss is child support. Child support in Missouri is based on a worksheet called the Form 14.

While it may seem simple, it is complex and depends on multiple factors. Contrary to popular belief, equal custody (50/50) does not automatically mean that no child support will be ordered.

Every case is unique and requires knowledge and application of multiple factors contained in a particular case.

It is highly advisable that you hire a St. Charles child support lawyer to help you discuss matters of child support, work with you to determine an appropriate child support number, and if necessary, prepare for court.
