Legal Question in Family Law in Missouri

Your question does not provide us with any facts at all. It seems to imply that you are not married to the mother of the child or children, or at least were not married at the time any child was born. If this is in fact the case, then you need to file a lawsuit to seek a judicial dertermination of paternity. The Judgment that you obtain will provide you with legal rights concerning legal and physical custody of the child or children,and also include an Order for child support. The amount of child support will be calculated according to law. This can be explained in more detail by your attorney at the appropriate time.
