Can a person file child support without a custody hearing or before getting divorced?

You should visit the court as soon as possible and ask to speak with an advocate. You can make a claim against the estate for child support arrears.

Check with social security as well and for any retirement accounts.

There may also be life insurance that has paid into as well as any thing from a house that may be sold.

Can you be reimbursed for child support if the child did not continue post secondary education and the state of Missouri states child support stops if the child discontinues school?

Do not look for reimbursement; but do check in with your legal help if the child has not attended school for six months or longer to end child support--this will prevent your being out of compliance.

Answer

You need to notify the court that the child is no longer attending school. The court will advise you as to what proof you will need. Generally, if the child has left school permanently you can file for a termination of the child support order. You will not be reimbursed for prior child support payments but you need to stay on top of the situation.

Can the custodial parent get in trouble for claiming her ex husband owes back child support and admitting to it to just get more money from him?

She might be guilty of perjury.

Unfortunately, this practice is quite common, usually involving multiple state claims made by the same person. Income tax and payroll attachments will be initiated, and are very difficult to stop, and if stopped, to recover overages paid. This is why it's frequently advisable to take enough payroll deductions so that there will be no need for a tax return.

I currently have a father with four such claims filed in four states in six months.
