Child Support If You Make $750 a Week in Kansas
Kansas leaves the age-band split entirely to the user, so this page family had to choose one, and the choice it made is the key to reading the table.

Guideline child support scenarios at $750 a week
The paying parent earns $750 a week ($3,250.00 a month) in every cell below. The other parent's monthly income changes across rows, and the number of children changes across columns; both genuinely change the result.Every figure is computed with the real Kansas guideline engine, the same one behind the full calculator, not a lookup table built for this page.
| Other parent's income | 1 child | 2 children | 3 children |
|---|---|---|---|
| No reported income | $700.00 | $1,110.00 | $1,401.00 |
| $2,000 a month | $622.00 | $962.00 | $1,218.00 |
| $4,000 a month | $575.00 | $875.00 | $1,111.00 |
| $6,000 a month | $542.00 | $815.00 | $1,036.00 |
Every dollar figure is a monthly amount, the presumptive guideline result before add-ons like child care or health insurance and before any court deviation. "Not available" means the engine behind this site declined to compute that specific combination rather than guess; the reason is shown next to it.
A choice, because Kansas gives no default
The Kansas schedule is built around three age bands, each with a different dollar weight, and the guidelines give no default distribution. The Supreme Court order adopting the July 1, 2025 guidelines, RL-121, keeps that structure, so every calculation must explicitly place each child before the schedule lookup can run.
This page family places every child in the 12-18 band, the highest weight. It is the most straightforward fixed assumption for a page that shows only a child count, and it is disclosed because any real distribution across the younger bands would lower the obligation for the same income.
What the choice means for every cell
All cells below use the oldest-band assumption, so the child-count columns reflect the highest weight Kansas assigns. At $750 a week, one child with no other-parent income shows $700, while three children show $1,401, a spread driven by the band weights and the income-shares math.
A reader with a child under 12 cannot read these numbers as their own estimate. Entering the real ages on the full calculator would apply the lower weights and typically produce a smaller amount.
What this estimate includes
- The RL-121 adoption of the 2025 age-banded guidelines
- The fixed all-children-in-12-18 assumption
- Results for 1, 2, or 3 children across four other-parent incomes
What it leaves out
- Any default age distribution, which Kansas does not provide
- Younger age bands and their lower weights
- Child care and health insurance add-ons
Worth knowing
The no-default structure is the reason the fixed assumption appears so prominently. In most states the calculation runs without asking a child age question; in Kansas it cannot.
The Appendix II schedule runs through $18,000 a month, and at $3,250 a month the payer income is well inside it, so the age band rather than the schedule range is the main sensitivity on this page.
Frequently asked questions
Why does this page have to choose an age band at all?
Kansas guidelines require every child to be placed in the 0-5, 6-11, or 12-18 band, and they do not default a child to any band. A calculation must make the choice, so this page family makes it and discloses it.
What is RL-121?
It is the Kansas Supreme Court order adopting the July 1, 2025 Child Support Guidelines, which keep the three-band structure and the Appendix II schedule used on this page.
Does the other parent income move the result at $750 a week?
Yes. For one child the obligation falls from $700 to $542 as the other parent income rises from none to $6,000 a month, with the two and three-child columns moving similarly.
Why is the 12-18 band the highest weight?
The guidelines assign the largest dollar weight to the oldest band, reflecting the higher cost of supporting older children. Placing every child there produces the largest possible amount for a given child count.
What would happen with one child in a younger band?
The lower weight would reduce the obligation for the same income. This page does not mix bands, so a reader with younger children should use the full calculator rather than reading the table directly.
Where can I find the official schedule and order?
The 2025 Kansas Guidelines and the RL-121 order are linked in the sources for this page, and the full Kansas child support calculator on this site applies them with per-child ages.
About the numbers on this page
Every figure in the table above comes from running the real Kansas child support engine on this site, the same engine and data pack behind the full Kansas child support calculator. Nothing on this page is a separate estimate or a reimplementation of the math. See the sources below for the statutes and official worksheets behind the Kansas guideline.
