I have a 15 year old daughter that is being charged with assult and will be going to juvenille detention. How do I figure out the amount of child support I will owe the state?

You will owe support in the amount specified on the KS child support guidelines based on your income. You can find the KS Child support guidelines here: http://www.kscourts.org/rules-procedures-forms/child-support-guidelines/default.asp

I found the worksheet but the computation makes no sense in how to compute the total. The step I need shows
Gross Child Support Obligation**
(Using the combined income from Line D.1.,
find the amount for each child and enter total for
all children)
Line D1 is 96,000 for my wife and I but it does not show how to calculate an amount
Look further down on that site and it actually has line by line instructions and definitions of income. We are not allowed to actually go through that with you online, it is well beyond the scope of this service. Here is a general KS Support Online Calculator, that may make it easier for you, but if you still cannot get it, I am afraid you are going to actually take your tax forms to a local attorney for them to properly calculate your amount.
