What the Court Trustee generally does

The office enforces qualifying child-support and maintenance orders in non-IV-D matters and provides procedural information about its cases. Other support cases may involve the Kansas Department for Children and Families or another process.

02

Payments and account questions

Use the current official payment page and include the required identifiers. Keep receipts and contact the responsible office if a payment is missing or applied incorrectly. This guide does not accept payments or access account balances.

03

When an order needs to change

Enforcement and modification are different. A job change, parenting change, direct payment, or informal agreement does not necessarily change the written order. Ask a lawyer or appropriate service about the correct modification process.
