Modifies provisions relating to spousal support and child support orders

Summary

The bill replaces Missouri’s existing spousal support statutes with new provisions that tell courts when they can grant maintenance, what factors they must consider, and how long each type of support may last. It targets divorcing spouses, especially those caring for children or disabled adults, and sets duration caps based on how long the marriage lasted. The measure failed to pass.
