Child Support

Child support is a critical issue in divorce cases. The determination of child support impacts the ability of the parents to provide shelter, clothing, education, health care, and other necessities for their children. Child support can also cause serious financial hardship to the paying parent, particularly when the parent is paying more than his or her fair share of the support obligation. We assist clients evaluating child support issues. We represent custodial parents who are not receiving their fair share of child support, as well as non-custodial parents who are paying more than their fair share of child support. If you have children and are considering divorce, you undoubtedly have questions about the process and your rights. Below, we answer some of the most common questions about child support. If you are considering a divorce, contact us today in St. Louis at 314-878-2537, in Southwest Missouri at 417-623-0900, or toll free at 800-371-8220. You can also email us anytime.
