Does an Income Withholding Order have to be issued to an employer for child support payroll deductions?
If child support is ordered, the Court Trustees office is charged with the task of monitoring, enforcing and collecting child support on behalf of the custodial parent. However, a fee of 2.5% of all child support going through the system is diverted from the custodial parent to the Court Trustees office for these services. Additionally, employers are allowed to charge the paying parent a fee of up to $10.00 per month in order to comply with the Income Withholding Order that is issued by the Court Trustees office. If both parties agree that there is no need for an Income Withholding Order, we can put that language in the order. This would allow the paying parent to send the child support payments to the Kansas Payment Center (KPC) rather than have their employer withhold it from their paychecks through an Income Withholding Order.
