MO HB219

Courts cannot order a parent paying child support to also cover educational expenses for a child attending vocational school or college, unless the parties mutually agree to such an arrangement

Child support obligations continue for children enrolled in secondary school until completion or age 21, and for children in higher education who enroll by October 1st after graduation and maintain at least 12 credit hours per semester

Support may be terminated if the child fails half or more of their courses in a semester, or fails to provide grade transcripts to the noncustodial parent within 30 days of request

Children working at least 15 hours per week may take as few as 9 credit hours and remain eligible for continued support

Children with developmental disabilities, physical disabilities, or health problems limiting their ability to carry full course loads remain eligible for support while attending vocational or higher education institutions
