Kansas is an income shares state. This means child support is based primarily on income, which is supposed to simplify calculations. However, Kansas has adopted a large number of policies and adjustments that can drastically impact child support obligations. Inputs such as self-employment income, secondary employment, cost of living, residency, parenting time, income taxes, health care, child care, etc. all can affect the bottom line. Kansas attorneys and other practitioners must keep up with latest Kansas child support guidelines and tax laws. With the 2024 Kansas guidelines now on its 5th revision this year, keeping up can be a tall order. That's where eFamilyTools comes in.
Our primary goal has always been to provide Kansas family law practitioners and parents with the best child support software, period. If you're using another software, we understand trying something new can be intimidating. But, the feedback we've received from those who've already made the switch is our software is more powerful and simpler. Attorneys from across Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma use our software daily. There are 3 good reasons for this.
1. eFamilyTools Is The Only Full-Featured Cloud Software for Kansas Child Support.
Have you ever used Google, Amazon, or Microsoft 360? You've already used cloud-based software! From the very first day we began development (over a decade ago), eFamilyTools has always been a cloud-based platform. This was a design goal from the very start. It truly is a game changer. eFamilyTools provides real-time calculation results as you enter information. Your entries are checked for errors as you enter them. Feedback is provided as you type with easily accessed reference and support information.
Batteries are included! By this we mean cloud software has no compatibility problems. Windows, Mac, and Linux are all equally supported. You also don't need to worry about installing any updates. Updates are handled within our software automatically. Every time you login you are guaranteed to be using the latest version. If you need access to your data from a laptop, tablet, or mobile device, no problem - we've always supported these devices.
2. Built-in Efficiency Boosters.
Every aspect of eFamilyTools is built for speed and efficiency. As a cloud-based software, you immediately gain efficiency by having your data available anywhere at anytime. It always works.
Sometimes it's the little things that put a smile on your face. What if you could just search for the case you'd like to work on? No problem! Simply type part of the case number or part of either party's name and our search function will find your case as fast as you can type. Then, neatly contained within the case are all of the worksheets you've built over the years for that case. Maybe you have some child support worksheets, some spousal maintenance worksheets, and probably some parenting time schedules. It's all there in a single window for you.
If you're using old software, you might expect to create 2 or 3 separate worksheets for divided residency or shared residency. Then you'll tally up insurance premiums, child care, etc. for each residency scenario to determine the overall obligation, right? What if your client wants to see different scenario comparisons? In eFamilyTools, this process is a walk in the park. Complete scenarios can be created in seconds, not minutes. Creating multiple worksheets is never required. We handle all of the math and processing internally to save you time.
What about summer parenting time? Using old software, you would create 2 worksheets to determine the adjusted obligation, right? eFamilyTools requires none of this funny business. We take a smarter approach which is more intuitive.
Many of our users love our contextual help tips integrated throughout our apps. Tips are intuitively and conveniently placed so you don't need to waste time searching for information. You'll quickly learn how each feature works and what the expected impact might be.
Speaking of searching for information, do you ever want to read what the guidelines say, word-for-word, on a particular topic? We make that simple as well. When you click to read the guidelinelines using our contextual links you are automatically taken to the relevant section of the guidelines.
