- Q. Is my son still eligible for child support?
- A: Typically an obligation to pay child support support ends once the kid turns 18 in Missouri. However, there are some exceptions to this general rule, and attending college is one of them. In Missouri, if the kid enrolls in higher education, child support can run until the kid reaches the age of 21. As long as the kid remains enrolled in school and is enrolled in at least 12 hours, your son may be eligible for child support. Once he turns 21 or finishes school, which ever comes first, the support will typically end.

- Q. Is it legal for my ex to register our children if I have already registered them for school where I live?

If you guys can't come to an agreement, you may have to litigate this issue unless there is already a parenting plan that stipulates where the child will go to school.

- Q. Hello, I have a question regarding the right to a speedy trial in Missouri. Is it true that you have to REQUEST it?
- A: You are right in your assertion that you have a 6th Amendment right to a speedy trial, however there are 2 different concepts of a speedy trial. Procedurally, you do in fact have to request a speedy trial and the court should set a trial date as soon as it is reasonably possible. Once you relay to the court, through your counsel, that you are ready for trial, the State has a burden to proceed in a timely manner. Look up Missouri statute 545.780.
The second concept of a speedy trial involves the 6th Amendment, but it is somewhat ambiguous about the specifics of that right, leaving it up for interpretation. There is no guidance as to what constitutes a "speedy" trial. The court will ... Read More
