FAQ

The Court must order a reduction of child support, based on a request of the parent. This request is called a motion, which must be filed with the Clerk of the District Court and set for a hearing. You can use this form, Motion to Modify Child Support, to change or stop the child support order.
Simply put, the only three methods by which parental rights can be terminated are: (1) adoption; (2) the state filing to seek to terminate rights; or (3) a parent petition the Court to ask a state agency assume custody of child.
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.
Involuntary relinquishment: The natural parent's rights may be terminated on several grounds, such as abandonment without financial or emotional support for six months.
A case can be reviewed sooner if there is a substantial change in circumstances. For a Kansas order, this could be when a child turns age six, twelve, or when a permanent change in income(s) would make the support order change by ten percent or more.
