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.” RSMo.

§452.370.4.

Income Tax Considerations

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.
