Evidence of spending or other transfers of money that resulted in a person unable to pay child support or alimony can be sufficient to support a judgment of contempt. However, going to jail because of that contempt requires that the person had the ability to pay and had the ability to fix the situation that caused the contempt. This means that if you are unemployed and have no ability to pay your child support or alimony, you may be in contempt but not have to go to jail. If you need help with a contempt case, contact our office at 816-524-4949.

The Missouri Lemon Law also known as the New Vehicle’s Warranty Law protects buyers of new vehicles by enforcing a manufacturer’s warranty. However, this law does not apply to used vehicles.
All new vehicles that are sold or leased under warrenty provisions are covered under the Lemon Law. The types of vehicles that are not covered, even if they are new, are commercial vehicles, off-road vehicles, mopeds, and motorcycles.
Owners of new vehicles must report any problems or defects in writing to the manufacturer and give the manufacturer a reasonable number of attempts to correct the problem. A manufacturer is deemed to have been given a reasonable number of attempts to correct the problem if (1) the vehicle has been in the repair shop for the same problem four or more times, or (2) the vehicle has been out of service because of a problem covered by the warranty for thirty or more working days since the car was delivered.
If the problem is not fixed within the reasonable number of repair attempts, then the manufacturer can offer you a cash refund or another vehicle of comparable value. However, the manufacturer can deduct a reasonable allowance for your use of the old vehicle from the cash refund. If you believe you have a claim under the Missouri Lemon Law, you will want to contact the manufacturer’s consumer appeals and arbitration center. If the problem is not resolved after contacting them, then you may want to seek assistance of an attorney by contacting our office at 816-524-4949.

Trusts also commonly show up in abusive tax structures. They are highlighted here because unscrupulous promoters continue to urge taxpayers to transfer large amounts of assets into trusts. These assets include not only cash and investments, but also successful on-going businesses. There are legitimate uses of trusts in tax and estate planning, but the IRS commonly sees highly questionable transactions. Questionable trusts rarely deliver the tax benefits promised and are used primarily as a means of avoiding income tax liability and hiding assets from creditors, including the IRS.

Following major disasters, it’s common for scam artists to impersonate charities to get money or private information from well-intentioned taxpayers. Scam artists can use a variety of tactics. Some scammers operating bogus charities may contact people by telephone or email to solicit money or financial information. They may even directly contact disaster victims and claim to be working for or on behalf of the IRS to help the victims file casualty loss claims and get tax refunds.
