How the number of children changes the amount in Kansas
With Parent A earning $60,000 and Parent B $40,000, the guideline amount for 3 children is $1,534 a month, about 1.92 times the $799 for one child. Support rises with each child, but by less than the first child's amount, because the guidelines reflect how households share costs among children.
Kansas uses the income shares model. The schedule for the number of children gives an amount for each child by the parents' combined monthly income and the child's age group (birth to five, six to eleven, twelve and older); the amounts are added and each parent is responsible for their share of the total.
