Child Support Collections

Children should not suffer financial hardship because their parents break up. Missouri law requires parents without primary physical responsibility to send child support payments so they contribute to their children’s needs. Once a child support order is entered with the Court, parents often rely on the Family Support Division to help them in the collection of financial child support. Sometime the Family Support Division is able to help these parents, however, sometimes they are not. Just because a noncustodial parent has been ordered by the Court to pay child support it doesn’t necessarily mean they actually will. Sometimes it’s necessary for the custodial parent to take further action in order to get paid on time.

We have experience in tracking down assets that can be used to satisfy a child support arrearage that might otherwise go unpaid.

Clients often have a variety of questions involving child support collections, including:

How can I get the non-custodial parent’s wages garnished to fulfill the financial responsibility?
What is an appropriate length of time to go without receiving support before I pursue collection?
If I lost my job, can I be relieved of my child support obligations?
What happens if I am unable to pay my child support?
Does the Court’s enforcement of child support still apply if the other parent out of state?
I want joint custody of my child. Will this affect my child support obligations?

My experience with Ben Aranda far exceeded what I could have expected. I came to Ben fighting an uphill battle that had no end in sight.Although I was a train wreck with mostly negative thoughts about how I feared the outcome would be for … More my case, Ben was positive, enthusiastic, and always made me feel better. And then he worked miracles for me. My previous attorney dropped my case as it seemed a no win situation for the six months they represented me. Ben began turning things around in his first three weeks of representing me. Not only did he fight me out of the hole I was in but also leveled the playing field and in the end, I won. I got more than I ever expected.Ben Aranda is an amazing attorney and a great guy. I will forever be grateful and recommend him.

Mr. Aranda is an outstanding attorney and a really great human being.

Mr. Aranda took my case when no one else would, helped me retrieve extremely valuable property that had been seized, and then stood by me to go after money I was owed, even though he knew it would be a very tough fight.

My case was complicated and very unusual. Actually, I was afraid I would not be able to find anyone to take my case. I met with Ben and he accepted my case with confidence which was quite comforting. He took immediate action to have an … More unjustified withholding temporarily stopped. The final judgement was exactly what I had hoped for and I even had money returned to me by the state. Ben's billing was accurate and not exaggerated. I will recommend everyone I can to The Aranda Law Firm! It was much better in many ways than the highly advertised, local family law firm I previously retained!! Go Ben!!
