The Kansas Supreme Court is seeking a parent who pays child support and a parent who receives child support to serve on an advisory committee that reviews the Kansas Child Support Guidelines. These guidelines are used to tailor child support obligations to meet families' needs.
The 13-member Kansas Child Support Guidelines Advisory Committee includes parents who either pay or receive child support, attorneys, judges, and tax professionals with expertise in child support. The committee:

--reviews the general rules governing how child support is established;
--evaluates the economic basis of the guidelines; and
--analyzes how courts may use adjustments to tailor child support obligations to meet the needs of families.

The committee identifies whether updates to the Kansas Child Support Guidelines are needed and it makes those recommendations to the Kansas Supreme Court. The volunteer selected to fill the position will be a voting member of the committee and will serve a four-year term. He or she will be eligible for travel reimbursement to attend meetings, and reimbursement will be calculated at the same rate as for state employees.

All applications will be reviewed and the applicant will be contacted by phone or email if selected to be interviewed for further consideration. Persons selected for recommendation to the Kansas Supreme Court will go through the standard process used for selecting court volunteers, judges, and attorneys. This includes interviewing references and reviewing the applicant's relevant case(s) on file with the district and municipal courts.

Applications will be accepted until May 22, 2026.

Information submitted through this application process may be subject to disclosure under the Kansas Open Records Act unless exempted from disclosure pursuant to provisions of the act or as otherwise provided by federal law, state statute, or rule of the Kansas Supreme Court.

Questions about the application or the child support guidelines review may be sent to kansascsg@kscourts.gov.
