Did you know that under the Revised Statutes of the State of Missouri that if a person is behind in Child Support, DFS has the right report them and the amount past due to a credit reporting agency? What does this mean to you? It is another way that you can legally provide roadblocks so that the parent in default has to take care of their legal obligations before obtaining any more credit.
