In effort to keep our users up-to-date on all the changes in child support guidelines and other policies affecting your case, we've launched a new blog.  Our blog discusses how our features can help you calculate child support the same way your attorney does.  We will continue to update our friends here at KS child support forum, but the blog will give us the ability to provide seamless content and provide help tips to our users.

I wanted share with everyone 2017 Kansas House Bill 2068 (see link below). This bill, if passed, would do the following if child support payments are delinquent by 15 days or more:

- notice issued to suspend driver's license
- notice issued to suspend & disallow vehicle registration/renewals
- issue notice to professional licensing committee (electricians, doctors, engineers, anyone licensed to practice a profession) to suspend license. Attorneys don't get this notice, they just get a "complaint" filed with the bar association.
- notice to KDWPT to suspend registration/renewal of "vessel" registration. I believe that means your boat registration would be suspended.

All of this can be done by the hand waving of the DCF. There is no hearing required. There is only an action on the part of the DCF and all of the above occurs if a child support payment is 15 days late.

Folks, this is where we're at. We already jail parents for non payment, we take away their ability to earn anything, go anywhere, do anything, etc... What boggles my mind is how these actions are supposed to help encourage parents to pay. Some parents simply can't pay because they can't afford the payment or an attorney to fight it. This is wrong!

Testimony on this bill will occur Thurs Feb 9 at 9AM by the House Committee on Appropriations. Chris Brown will be going if you'd like to contact him to learn more. I understand many have to work, but please take the time to write official testimony and get it delivered by Feb 7. This nonsense has gone too far.

We've received a few messages from folks wanting more information about how our software works.  We are currently in the process of compiling several YouTube tutorial videos detailing the process to use our software to complete your child support worksheet.  While those are still ongoing, we have provided a few screenshots of how you can enter information.  Here are some quick tips.

- You don't need to know your court district, we determine that for you
- You don't need to know when your child's nearest birthday is, we calculate it for you
- You don't need to remember what information you used to calculate a scenario.  You can create several scenarios and save them all.

I am the one paying child support!! He is sitting in jail collecting and pocketing it. Now is telling me he is going to use it for bail to get out. Never mind I have paid 100% of the expenses along with child support while hes been in there.
Im beginning to think there is no end to this madness until the child reaches 18. Even then there is probably some way I will have to keep supporting this bum!!

The father of our son is in jail. Do I have to continue paying child support? I can't afford an attorney after paying for all expenses and child support coming out of my checks. We have 50/50 custody and I pay him child support. Thanks for any suggestions.
