What is Child Support Agreements?

Child support agreements are legal arrangements that outline the financial responsibilities of parents in providing for their children's needs after separation or divorce. These agreements ensure that children receive adequate financial support for essentials such as food, housing, education, and healthcare. In Missouri, child support calculations consider factors like each parent's income, the number of children, and the amount of time each parent spends with the children.
