HB2062

Kansas HB2062 mandates child support for unborn children from conception, considers pregnancy-related expenses, and exempts unborn and stillborn.

Kansas HB2062 revises child support laws to include unborn children from the date of conception. It factors in the mother's direct medical and pregnancy-related expenses when calculating support. The bill also provides an income tax exemption for unborn and stillborn children. Courts must consider the value of retirement accounts in certain circumstances and can authorize payments from these accounts to pay child support arrearages. The bill eliminates the exemption of pension and retirement moneys from claims to fulfill child support obligations.
