Missouri Child Support Jurisdiction

Summary

Missouri can take jurisdiction over a child support case if the child or a parent resides in Missouri. If the mother and child live in Illinois, Illinois generally retains jurisdiction. If the father moves back to Missouri, Illinois is likely to maintain jurisdiction as the mother and child reside there. To file a case in Missouri, ensure proper jurisdiction and service of notice. If you wish to remove a court commissioner, file a motion citing bias or conflict of interest. For legal precedents, use databases like Westlaw or consult an attorney.
