Kansas Child Support Services
(CSS) helps children receive the financial support necessary for their growth and development. The program assists by establishing parentage and orders for child and medical support, locating noncustodial parents and their property, enforcing child and medical support orders, and modifying support orders as appropriate.
CSS automatically serves families receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Food Assistance, medical, foster care, and child care assistance. Assistance from CSS is also available to any family regardless of income or residency, who applies for our services.
For more information view the Kansas CSS Handbook or visit the Federal Office of Child Support Services website.
