Support enforcement services by division, when, for whom
The family support division helps people get child support money. This help is available to people who get public assistance and people who don't. It can help children, parents who have the kids, parents who don't have the kids, and others who are owed support. People from other states can get the same help as people who live in Missouri. If a family stops getting government assistance, the division tells them, and their child support help keeps going without needing to reapply or pay fees.
