Entitled is a hmm strong word. To get a public defender she has to fill out a financial application and the judge determines if she qualifies as indigent or not, or if shed have to pay partially for one. KS is weird because they dont just look at an individuals income but in many things the whole household so even if theyre not married the court may still consider JH income for determination. If the court decides she doesnt qualify because of too much income (which for a 4 person household is around $24k per year) she would have to hire her own attorney or represent herself.

JHs income does not count since they are not married or related.
(a) Household income. The defendants household income shall be defined as the defendants income and the income of all other persons related by birth, marriage, or adoption who reside with the defendant. Income shall include the total cash receipts before taxes from all resources, including money, wages, and the net receipts from nonfarm or farm self-employment.
