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?

Ben's a dedicated and efficient attorney. He's handled a few cases for me, and each time he lays out a goal and accomplishes it. He kept me informed on my cases and quickly answered any questions I had. Could not be more pleased … More with his service.

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.

He's very easy to talk with and he personally kept in constant communication with me-I never had to speak with an assistant or secretary. His pricing was reasonable for an attorney and he didn't stop until we received the results … More I wanted with my custody case. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again!

I retained Ben’s legal services for my divorce after spending over $40,000 on legal fees on a previous attorney. I felt so taken advantage of by the law firm that charged me excessive amounts of money and got little to nothing accomplished … More in over a year and a half trying to get divorced. When I retained Aranda law, I immediately felt comfortable dealing with Ben and knew right away he was the man I needed to hire. He is the easiest guy to get a hold of and communicate with and is extremely knowledgeable about family law. I hired Ben for less than a quarter of what I spent on the other law firm and my divorce was finalized within 6 months and he got me the best deal possible. Most attorneys charge for every little thing they can charge for. Emails, phone calls, text messages, etc. Most attorneys spend more time typing up bills for every little minut detail that they can charge for rather than spending time to work on the case. I have found that Ben is very unorthodox when it comes to billing. He works hard and gets what he wants and charges very little for his superior services. I would recommend Aranda Law firm to anyone and everyone. I wish Ben the utmost success with his firm. Thanks for everything you’ve done for me.

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!
