Parents pay a proportional share of the obligation based on their child support income. If one parent earns 60% of the parents' combined gross income and the other parent earns 40%, then their child support obligation will be shared 60-40. Income earned by a new spouse or other relationship is not considered income.

The NCP has thirty calendar days from the due date to make the payment before it is considered delinquent. Once the thirty calendar days have passed and the NCP is one full month delinquent, CSS may take enforcement actions against the NCP.

For Kansas orders, current support lasts until the child is emancipated (reaches adulthood). For most children, that is their 18th birthday. If a child turns eighteen while still attending high school, the child's current support order automatically continues until the end of that school year.

Specific circumstances must exist as a reason for a change in the amount of child support paid: An increase or decrease in the amount of income of one of the parents, A significant change in the amount paid for child care or medical insurance for the child, or, A change in the age bracket of the child.

Joint Legal Custody is the preferred method of custody in Kansas. It has nothing to do with who the children live with or the amount of time each party spends with the children.
