My boyfriend is being held on a 10000 bond for not appearing in court for the charge of non-support of over 5000. We live in Missouri and I've been hearing alot about the new child support laws for back child support. One new bill that just passed last month, is helping fathers who owe back child get back on track by establishing a program through the court system to help them find a job to pay the back child support without having to go to jail. If they're sitting in jail, they just get farther behind. My question: is there such a program in Missouri? And if there isn't what can he expect to get if he's sentenced? I'm trying to help him out and get as much information as I can. He's going stir crazy sitting in jail. He has not had a court date yet and he hasn't been assigned a public defender.
