Enforcement Units Recover Tax Dollars in State Crackdown
Kansas child support enforcement units operate under the Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services across judicial districts. Franklin, Osage, Anderson, Coffey lie in the Fourth District while Miami and Linn are in the Sixth. Lawyers are part time and lack state charging power, prompting cooperation with county prosecutors. Franklin County Attorney Wendell Barker leads the effort, yielding $3,800 in ADC recoveries and encouraging voluntary withdrawals from aid. Authorities aim to locate non paying parents statewide as legislation moves, with leaders optimistic about broader enforcement and improved on time payments.
