Legal Question in Family Law in Missouri

Re: Change of Jurisdiction (state)

If you have lived in OK for 4 years with your minor son, MO no longer has jurisdiction over anything dealing with your son. OK would have the jurisdiction. I do not practice OK law but you should be able to register the MO judgment and start a case there to raise child support. If that is the only issue you have, you may be able to do it through a gov. agency that handles child support matters. We have an agency in MO (through Social Services) that will look at the child support guideline and see if your child support should be raised and, if so, it will do all the paperwork for you. No attorney fees involved in the child support issue. If you need to modify visitation, etc. then you will need to hire an attorney and proceed through a court case. If there is anything that needs to be modified as to maintenance or assets, MO still controls and you will need to file a modification in MO. Hope this helps.

I don't know where you live but you could try checking out a family law blog that derives from OK. It has a lot of information on it. Goggle OK family lawyer and you should be able to come across it. Good luck.
