Missouri Public Defender System handles about 6,000 child support criminal cases annually
Missouri law can criminalize parents who fail to pay child support. The Missouri Public Defender System handles roughly 6,000 of these cases annually. During a state House Budget Committee hearing, System Director Mary Fox said handling those cases in civil court, instead of criminal court, could have a significant financial impact on her office.

“If the person is going to admit responsibility, there is a long time period in trying to determine what payments need to be made, how those payments will be made. The person is often placed on probation,” she said. “Every time they fail to keep up with those child support payments, there is a probation violation, which then becomes another case for us.”
