SB 1323

SB 1323 - Current law requires every child support order to include an income withholding order for the person obliged to pay the child support. If the income is not withheld immediately, the obligor's income shall be subject to withholding on the date on which the obligor becomes delinquent in an amount equal to one month's total support obligation. Under this act, the obligor's income shall be subject to withholding when an amount equal to one month's child support is delinquent or after ninety days of partial child support payments, whichever is earlier. This act is identical to SB 623 (2025). SARAH HASKINS

Legislative bill overview

SB 1323 modifies existing provisions in Missouri's child support order system, though the specific modifications are not detailed in the available information. The bill was prefiled on December 1, 2025, by Senator Brad Hudson and remains in early legislative stages.

Why is this important

Child support policies directly affect millions of families' financial stability and children's welfare. Modifications to these provisions can influence payment obligations, enforcement mechanisms, and the process for establishing or modifying orders—impacting both custodial and non-custodial parents.

Potential points of contention

  • Income calculation methodology – Changes to how income is determined could affect whether self-employed individuals, gig workers, or those with variable earnings face higher or lower obligations
  • Modification procedures – Alterations to how parents can request order changes may make the system more or less accessible depending on direction
  • Enforcement and penalty provisions – Modifications could strengthen or weaken consequences for non-payment, affecting collection rates and compliance
