Professional Tools For Parents

The tools you use are the same tools which have been used by judges and state offices for almost twenty years. The reports you create with Child Support Tools (“Child Support Worksheets”) are the forms required by the Kansas Supreme Court and are instantly recognized by Kansas courts.

Inexpensive

Access to the professional tools used by Kansas lawyers and judges is now available to you in a ‘single family – limited time’ version for 30, 60 or 120 days for just pennies a day. You can renew your subscription whenever you wish – even several years from now -- and keep your calculations up-to-date with the latest laws and changes in your family finances.

Accurate Calculation

Child Support Tools is more than just an “estimate” of your child support. The calculations are based on the latest rules from the Kansas Supreme Court, and up-to-date information from the IRS, and State of Kansas for tax calculations, as well as the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The calculations are shown in dollars as required by Kansas law, but are calculated with fifteen decimal point precision.

Secure Website

The Child Support Tools website is secure. Your data is protected ‘round the clock’ against theft and prying. We never sell any of your data or information. You and you alone can access your information – and access is available to you during your subscription period 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from any internet connection.

Online Help & Tutorials

We make Child Support Tools easy to understand and use, but if you have any questions, you’ll find a video tutorial on each of the six screens in the program. Each tutorial will show you the steps needed to enter your information into the program to permit fast and easy preparation of your child support calculations.

Privacy of your own home

Review your child support numbers at your convenience in the privacy of your own home or office. No appointments to make. You can gather your records as you go, saving your calculations at any stage, and finish later when additional information is at hand.

Easy to Use

Child Support Tools uses a “structured interview” approach to gathering information needed for the calculations and document creation. You don’t need to have a law degree to use it; just the information unique to your family. Child Support Tools asks you for the details, and then gives you the answers you need.

Flexible

Child Support Tools saves your work and allows you to update the calculations when circumstances change, even years from now. You can also create 'test runs' of various factual scenarios (what happens when a child moves into a different age bracket, what if Dad doesn’t get the bonus next year, etc.?). Child Support Tools fits YOUR family!

Trusted by judges

The tools you use are the same tools which have been used by judges and state offices for almost twenty years. The reports you create with Child Support Tools ('Child Support Worksheets') are the forms required by the Kansas Supreme Court and are instantly recognized by Kansas courts.

Save Time in Courtroom

As much as they want to help each person, judges are very busy with increasingly crowded dockets. Being an educated litigant (particularly if you are self-represented) who has “their paperwork” properly prepared and in order can result in a more serious consideration being given to your presentation.

Ready-To-File Documents

Child Support Tools creates documents which are ready to file in your divorce proceedings if needed to present your case regarding child support. If you’re not presently involved in legal proceedings, you can “test” the factual scenarios to help you decide whether to consult an attorney, or seek a child support modification.

Reduce Legal Costs

Save time (and money) when you meet with your lawyer. Do your homework ahead of time and take your Child Support Worksheet with you – that way your lawyer won’t need to create the worksheet for you while you wait (and the meter is running)!
