In Missouri, child support is determined using a formula based on the income of both parents, as outlined in the Missouri Child Support Guidelines. The calculation considers factors such as the number of children, each parent's gross income, and any additional expenses like healthcare and child care. The guidelines provide a presumptive amount, but adjustments may be made based on specific circumstances, such as significant medical expenses or the children's needs. Ultimately, the court has the final authority to set the support amount, considering the best interests of the child.

Can you collect child support on a child that is 12 yrs old in Missouri that the non-custodial parent has never paid child support on?
If you have a court ordered agreement then I know in Missouri the state will garnish wages or tax refunds to begin to recoup some of the money. However if you have not received a child support agreement and you want to then you have to go in to the state and request for a child support hearing. This will determine the father of the child and how much if any the non-custodial parent owes. Missouri does not usually require back child support to be paid, it is from the date of the final court hearing in determining the correct paternity. With all of that said, you can receive child support for your child, but there are forms and court hearings that will need to be attended to ensure you and your child are getting what the state feels is deserved.

Nothing can be done until the child is born and paternity is established. If the male is not willing to acknowledge he is the father a paternity test will be necessary, before any litigation pertaining to child support, custody, visitation rights or the relinquishment of parental rights is possible. However, the issue of the biological mother moving to another state is not necessarily relevant; all states honor and enforce child support and/or visitation orders issued in another state.
