TOPEKA—The Kansas Supreme Court is accepting public comment on proposed updates to child support guidelines.
The court will accept written comment by email to [email protected] until 5 p.m. Sunday, July 23. The subject line must read “Child Support Guidelines.”
The updates are proposed by the Kansas Child Support Guidelines Advisory Committee based on 2025 House Bill 2062 enacted on April 10.
The bill, which takes effect July 1, amends K.S.A. 23-3002 to modify how individual retirement accounts are treated in statutes that govern child support. The bill also amends K.S.A. 20-165 to include a mother’s direct medical and pregnancy-related expenses among the factors the Supreme Court must consider when adopting child support guidelines. It also prescribes rules for ordering that type of support.
