REGIONAL CHILD SUPPORT UNIT (home)
The Cole County Prosecuting Attorney's Office hosts the Regional Child Support Unit. This unit was formed in 1993 to serve the child support needs of Cole, Gasconade, Maries, and Osage counties. A full-time assistant prosecuting attorney, along with four full-time administrative assistants, staff the unit. The attorney and administrative assistants work closely with custodial parents, non-custodial parents, employers, Missouri Probation and Parole, and the court system.
What we do
> Paternity and support establishment -- If the Division of Child Support Enforcement (FSD) is unable to establish paternity and/or a support order through the administrative process, our office will establish a judicial order.
> Support enforcement -- Through civil contempt orders and criminal nonsupport charges, we strive to collect child support for children in our four counties. We receive referrals from FSD when they are not able to collect support; we cannot work on a case without a FSD referral. In conjunction with the courts, FSD, and Probation and Parole, cases are closely monitored, wage withholdings are issued, driver's licenses are suspended, and liens are placed on real estate, probate estates, workers' compensation claims, and personal injury suits.
How cases are received by our office
Cases are referred to the Regional Child Support Unit by FSD when FSD determines that a Prosecuting Attorney Referral is needed. FSD has established certain measures and policies that must be exhausted before a referral is made. Before our unit can handle a child support cases, it must be referred to us by FSD.
