In Missouri, child support is determined by the Form 14. Up until recently, if you were the spouse paying child support and shared roughly equal custody with the other parent, you were entitled to up to a 34% adjustment which reduced your child support obligation. This credit was based upon how many overnights you had with the child.
The Missouri House of Representatives has passed a new bill in May of 2011 that directs the Missouri Supreme Court to amend the child support guidelines in this regard. Now parents who share equal or substantially equal time with their children may be entitled to an adjustment of up to 50% of their child support obligation. This could have the effect of substantially reducing a parent’s child support obligation in those cases of joint custody.
Missouri law provides that your child support obligation is modifiable, i.e. you can request that the court increase or decrease it. If it has been a few years since you have visited revising the terms of your child support, or you have never modified your support, this change may be a good reason to have it reviewed by an attorney to see if your child support can be modified.
