What Our Clients Say
Common Questions About Family Law
What is family law?
Family law encompasses legal matters related to family relationships, including marriage, divorce, child custody, child support, adoption, and domestic violence.
How do I file for divorce in Kansas?
To initiate a divorce in Kansas, you must file a petition for divorce with the district court in the county where either you or your spouse resides. Kansas is a no-fault divorce state, meaning you don’t need to prove wrongdoing to obtain a divorce.
What factors does the court consider when determining child custody?
Kansas courts prioritize the best interests of the child when determining custody. Factors include the child’s age, emotional ties to each parent, the parents’ ability to provide for the child’s needs, and the child’s preference if they are of sufficient age and maturity.
Am I entitled to alimony (spousal support) in Kansas?
Alimony is not automatically granted in Kansas. The court considers factors such as the length of the marriage, the financial and non-financial contributions of each spouse, and the recipient spouse’s financial needs and ability to support themselves.
How is property divided during a divorce in Kansas?
Kansas follows an equitable distribution model, meaning marital property is divided fairly but not necessarily equally. The court considers factors like the length of the marriage, the economic circumstances of each spouse, and contributions to the marital property.
Can I modify child support or custody arrangements after a court order?
Yes, you can request a modification of child support or custody arrangements if there has been a substantial change in circumstances since the original order. The court will assess whether the change is significant enough to warrant a modification in the child’s best interests.
