Kansas panel hears public input on child support guidelines
A Kansas Supreme Court committee studying 1987 child support guidelines held about a dozen hearings across the state. Judge Paul Miller says guidelines aim to raise payments to more equitable levels, though some gasps remain over rising costs. Critics cite cases like Dandurand in Wichita, whose monthly support jumped from 340 to 575 plus 143 health insurance, and many argue for case by case scrutiny and accountability to fund child related expenses.
