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.

Ben is one of the best attorneys I have ever met. He has handled a few different cases for me and each case he handled exceptionally well. He is friendly and down to earth with his clients but tough in the courtroom. He is easy to talk … More to and to communicate with (not once in the years he has been my attorney have I ever needed to speak with an assistant, paralegal or secretary) and he’s dedicated to his clients-even needy clients like me! One of the worst parts of moving my family to Chicago was knowing Ben would no longer be able to handle any legal problems I had! You can tell that it’s more than just a job for him, he truly cares about his clients and sees them as more than just another case.

Ben is a amazing person. I met him in a bad point in my life when my original divorce attorney got disbarred. And literally met ben the day of my divorce trial. My divorce still ended up a diaster but I can honestly say it was no fault … More of bens. He actually had my back in several other cases through the next few years and did great and let me make affordable payment plans. I would recommend Aranda Law firm to anyone in need of a great attorney......Thanks Ben

I, too, hired Mr. Aranda after my previous attorney failed to adequately advocate for me in my divorce. Immediately, Ben put me at ease and let me know there was no need to worry about the "malicious tactics" of the opposing counsel … More (and my soon to be ex-wife). Divorce is hard enough, and I'm so thankful to have Ben representing me so I can be a responsible father and get on with my life. Ben keeps it real, and he fights hard for his clients. He deserves to be recognized with the highest jurisprudence commendation for his diligence. If you are in need of a superb divorce lawyer, he's your guy! God bless you Mr. Aranda!
