In re Marriage of Schoby (Kansas 2000)

The marriage of a minor is not a “terminating event” which automatically allows a payor parent to stop making child support payments for that child. Child support may be modified at any time circumstances render such a change proper, but the modification operates prospectively only. Divorced parents cannot legally reduce child support or terminate the obligation by a contractual agreement or otherwise. It is a right of the child and can only be reduced or terminated by court order.
