Work With A Johnson County Child Support Lawyer
Kansas child support laws aim to provide children with consistent financial care after separation or divorce. Support amounts depend on income, parenting time and the child’s needs – but disputes often arise. Whether you are seeking a fair calculation, modifying an order or dealing with enforcement, legal guidance helps protect your rights.
At The Lerner Law Firm, I bring over 40 years of experience in family law. I have handled cases in 28 states and offer clients direct access to my personal cellphone. I work with both high-income and complex custody cases, adapting to your goals whether through negotiation or litigation. My practice reflects a strong commitment to community, service and accessibility.
Do You Have To Pay Child Support If You Have 50/50 Custody In Kansas?
Yes, even with equal child custody, one parent may still owe support. Kansas support guidelines consider income, expenses and parenting time. Courts aim to maintain balance between households. Key factors include:
- Gross income of each parent
- Insurance and child care costs
- Time spent with the child
- Unique financial needs of the child
Does A Father Have Rights If He Does Not Pay Child Support?
Yes. Support and custody are separate legal issues. A father who owes support still has parenting rights, unless restricted by court order. Consequences of unpaid support include:
- Wage garnishment
- License suspension
- Contempt of court
- Credit damage
Do I Have To Pay Child Support If I Do Not See My Kid?
Yes. Kansas requires support unless a court order ends it. Lack of contact does not cancel financial responsibility.
I serve parents throughout Johnson County, helping them resolve child support disputes. I also assist clients across the greater Kansas City area in divorce and any other family law issues, offering practical guidance backed by courtroom experience.
