HB 2464 -- Child Support Payments Sponsor: Oxford This bill raises the age of a child at which the parent's obligation to pay child support terminates from 21 years of age to 22 years of age. The provisions terminating child support when a child older than 18 years of age receives failing grades in half or more of his or her courseload in any one semester are repealed. A one-time, five-month period of abatement of child support may be granted if a child completes at least six but less than 12 college credit hours and has pursued a path of continuous attendance and demonstrated evidence of a plan to continue to do so.Copyright (c) Missouri House of Representatives
