Contest by obligor
When someone owes child support and gets an income withholding order from another state sent straight to their employer, that person can fight the order in a Missouri court. To do so, the person has to let certain people know about the fight — including the agency helping the person who is owed support, the employer who got the order, and the person who is supposed to receive the payments.
