Child support is an amount of money paid by one parent to the other parent for the support of the children.  In addition
to a regular monthly child support payment, other expenses of the children may be divided between the parents as child
support.  Part B of the Parenting Plan contains the calculation of child support and the allocation of the children’s
Form 14 is a form used to calculate a presumed amount of child support.  Form 14 is part of this parenting plan and is
found on Part B, Page 8.  The court will usually follow Form 14, however, if the court finds that the child support
calculated pursuant to Form 14 is unjust or inappropriate, it will set child support at a different amount.
Parents must also determine the allocation and amount of other expenses of the children such as medical and dental
insurance, uncovered medical and dental expenses, day care, and other extraordinary expenses.  These expenses constitute
part of the child support obligations of each parent.  These other expenses may be included in the Form 14 calculation, or
they may be paid independently of the child support payment.
Parents may agree on an amount of child support and the allocation of expenses.  The court does not have to accept
this agreement and can set different support amounts.  Even if the parents have agreed on an amount of child support,
THEY MUST STILL CALCULATE A FORM 14 FOR THE COURT.  As they work through this parenting plan, they
will also be entering the information that is required for Form 14.
Missouri law further provides that “An award of joint physical custody does not preclude an award of child support
pursuant to Section 452.340 and applicable supreme court rules in determining an amount reasonable or necessary for the
support of the child.”  §452.375.12, RSMo.  Child support may be appropriate even if both parties have custody of the
children an equal amount of time.

18.  Starting Date for Child Support
You must check one and only one of the following two boxes if either party is paying child support in Part B,
The first child support payment is due on the date of the entry of the judgment.
The first child support payment is due on _______________________.
Notification by the Person Receiving Support when Child Support Changes
Missouri law provides that “[u]nless otherwise agreed in writing or expressly provided in the judgment,
provisions for the support of the child are terminated by emancipation of the child.  The parent entitled to
receive child support shall have the duty to notify the parent obligated to pay support of the child’s
emancipation and failing to do so, the parent entitled to receive child support shall be liable to the parent
obligated to pay support for child support paid following emancipation of a minor child, plus interest.”
§452.370.4, RSMo.
19.  Income Tax Dependents
The parties shall be entitled to claim the minor children as dependents for income tax purposes as follows:
(Person paying support must be current with all support obligations as of December 31 of the tax year in which
the child is to be claimed.  Each parent will sign any appropriate documents to allow the other parent to make
such claims.)
NOTE:  The Form 14 calculation assumes that the person receiving support will claim the children as
dependents.  If the person paying support is entitled to claim one or more of the children, then the Form 14
guidelines are unjust and inappropriate and the second box in Paragraph 16 should be checked.
If the person claiming the children is not listed below, then the person receiving support shall be entitled to
claim the omitted children as dependents in all years.
Name of Child 	In odd numbered tax years, this parent will claim this child as a dependent

Payment of Child Support and Wage Assignments
A wage assignment means that the child support is taken directly out of the paycheck of the person paying
support.  The amount withheld is sent to the Family Support Payment Center.  The Family Support Payment
Center will then forward the support to the person receiving support.  Child support withheld pursuant to a wage
assignment cannot be sent directly to the party receiving support.  A record will be kept of all payments.
If a wage assignment is not ordered, then the child support may be paid directly to the person receiving
support.  The person paying support may also voluntarily send payments to the Family Support Payment Center.
If the child support is not paid to the Family Support Payment Center, it is extremely important that each parent
keep accurate records of the amount of child support paid.  This means that the party paying support may not
receive credit for his or her payments if he or she does not have receipts or cancelled checks.  Because of this, it
is proper to request a receipt from the parent receiving support.
If the person paying support is currently unemployed or self-employed, the wage assignment may still be
ordered, but it will not take effect until the person paying support begins receiving regular wages.
20.  Method of Payment of Child Support
You must check one and only one of the following five boxes if either party is paying child support in Part B,
A wage assignment will not issue because a written agreement has been reached between the parties that
provides for an alternative arrangement.  Child support shall be paid directly to the person receiving support.
A wage assignment will not issue because there is good cause not to require immediate income withholding
for the reason that implementation of an immediate wage withholding would not be in the best interest of the
child and the person paying support has made timely payments of all previously ordered support.  Child support
shall be paid directly to the person receiving support.
