- Offer a copy of the IWO to the obligor/employee

Determination of Divorce Kansas Child Support
- The first step is that the gross income of each parent is taken into account
- Court ordered maintenance in other cases, child support obligations for other children and reasonable business expenses are deducted from the gross income
- Court ordered maintenance is added to the above figure
- The resultant figure is called as the 'child support income' of the parent
- Now, it is time to refer to the schedules and round it up to the nearest USD amount
- Depending on the number of children in the family and their ages, the appropriate table is located. This table gives the child support obligation. If there is more than 1 child, the amount is termed as 'gross child support obligation'
- From this amount, the parents have to deduct or add values like work related child care expenditures, dental and health premiums
- The ratio of the income of the parents is the ratio in which the child support has to be paid. Let us assume that the father earns 67 percent of the combined gross income and the mother earns 33 percent. Then, the child support amount is divided in the ratio 67:33
- If a parent has income that comes from a new spouse or any other relationship, then this income is not considered
- The following incomes are not regarded as a section of the gross income
- Child support amounts received for other children
- Income from public assistance
