Concerned About Child Support Rules? Speak Your Mind!
If you’ve got child support issues, we know just the hearing you should attend.
The Family Court Committee of the Supreme Court of Missouri is taking public testimony about child support guidelines from 1 to 3 p.m. March 21, at 121 Alameda Drive in Jefferson City.
Every four years the court reexamines the child support guidelines to make sure they’re effective and that the application process ends with “appropriate child-support awards.” But don’t get too chatty. The committee can’t take on revisions to state law, resolve “issues related to the child support collection process” or tackle child support enforcement. They also can’t help you modify your current child support orders.
So if you’ve got a gripe, keep it limited to the guidelines. The committee will also take written testimony.
If you’re interested in giving testimony contact Norma Rahm, interim division director of the Division of Court Programs and Research at the Office of State Courts Administrator, at 573-751-4377 or via e-mail at child.support.comments@courts.mo.gov.

While reviewing child support guidelines is important and is funded by the federal government, who is reviewing the government apparatus in place to accept, process and ligitate child support requests for the office of child support enforcement? This system is inefficient, ineffective and lengthy. Yet, no one seems to have oversite of state offices where it often takes over 12 months from the time a custodial parent applies to the time the file goes for judicial review and a court date is ordered.
