Child Support Schedule for State of Missouri - In Missouri, child support is based on the gross monthly income of both parents. For example, if the combined monthly gross income of both parents was $5000, the amount designated for support of three children would be $1370. If the one parent made 60% ($3000) of the $5000 monthly and was non-custodial, that parent would pay 60% of the $1370 ($822) and the custodial parent with income of $2000 would be responsible for the $588 (40%) of the monthly support.
