Legal Question in Family Law in Kansas

Re: child custody

In a situation where there is no court order governing parenting time, common sense rules. If the father said he would leave the child out in the cold, the mother is justified in coming to get the child. If the mother believes the threat is real, she may make a request for an SRS investigation as to neglect or abuse by the father. The best answer for all parties is to file a paternity action and to develop a parenting plan that will detail the rights and responsibilities of the parties.
