How is child support determined in Kansas?
The Kansas Supreme Court has adopted child support guidelines which are used to calculate support. The support is based on both parents’ incomes, the cost of health insurance, any work-related day care expense and the number and ages of the children. There are some variables that can enter into this, such as long-distance visitation cost, income tax considerations and the overall financial condition of the parties. If you have the approximate income of both parents, the cost of health insurance, any work-related day care expense and the number and ages of the children, most Kansas attorneys can give you a good estimate of the amount of child support. QUESTION NO.
