The Court Trustee Information Form

Pursuant to orders of the Court, it is your responsibility to keep the Court Trustee informed of any changes to your name, social security number, address, and employer including business address. This can be done by filling out the Court Trustee Information Form.  The Court requires that this form be updated within seven (7) days after any change in the party’s name, address, or employer including employer’s business address.  You can find the Court Trustee Information Form here.

How Child Support Relates To Visitation

For information relating to the connection between visitation and the payment of child support (whether child support can be withheld due to lack of visitation or whether visitation can be withheld for failure to pay child support) visit Kansas Legal Services.

Making Child Support and Maintenance Payments

 

Please make your check or money order payable to "Kansas Payment Center". Do not send cash. Include: your full name, court order number including county identifier ("DG 01 D 123" or "DG 05 DM 123" depending on your case number) and mail it to:

Kansas Payment Center

P.O. Box 758599

It is critical you include the "DG" in your case number on your check or money order for proper and timely credit at the Kansas Payment Center.

BRING CASH TO THE TRUSTEE OFFICE:

For your convenience you may make cash payments in the office of the District Court Trustee or drop off your payment for mailing to the Kansas Payment Center.

PAY ONLINE USING KPCpay:

You can pay your support online using a debit or credit card or using a direct transfer from a bank account. You only need to sign up once and can schedule a single payment, recurring payments, or payments as far in advance as 60 days. You can cancel or reset a scheduled payment. This service is available 24/7.  A convenience fee in the amount of up to 6% of the transaction will be assessed when using a credit card or debit card to pay your support.
