Alimony Child Support in Missouri

In Missouri, child support and maintenance (alimony) are governed by separate statutes and calculated using distinct methods. Child support follows Mo. Rev. Stat. § 452.340 and the state’s Form 14, which applies a standardized formula based on each parent’s income and certain expenses. Maintenance under § 452.335 is determined by the court after considering a set of statutory factors. A verified figure of $30,000 may appear in a given case’s Form 14 calculation, but the final amount depends on the specific circumstances entered into the formula. The official source at the Missouri courts website provides the exact Form 14 worksheet and instructions. Use the DocketMath calculator to estimate your own potential support amounts.
