2024 Kansas Child Support Guidelines (version 1) made several changes still in effect
The 2024 Kansas Child Support Guidelines have been approved by the Kansas Supreme Court and become effective on Jan 1st, 2024. Here's a link to the 2024 guidelines. Child support obligations have increased between 2% and 12% depending on income and family size. Several other updates may affect child support calculations for your case. Please note - the Equal Parenting Time (EPT) formula applied for shared residency is still planned to be revised or even completely removed. The committee will reconvene in early 2024 to continue discussions to "fix" the EPT formula. Please read our Blog Post discussing this initial 2024 version of the guidelines.
