A: Yes, to a certain degree, Missouri will use those amounts to determine any new amounts ordered in Missouri. Part of the child support calculations according to the Missouri Supreme Court Form 14. You are able to deduct all or part of any child support paid to other parents when calculating new child support. You will need to talk with an attorney about how child support is calculated because there are lots of credits, deductions, or additional expenses that can be used.
