Legal Question in Family Law in Kansas

Re: Child suport/divorce

It is assumed that she has filed for divorce in Kansas. She does not require your consent to move from Florida to Kansas. She may file for divorce in Kansas after meeting its residency requirement. She will likely be granted a divorce whether or not you contest it. The issue of child support, visitation, custody, etc. will be based on the best interests of the children, you/her relative income, etc. It appears she has planned the move; if she is granted custody, she will be granted support based on income and needs of the children.

Re: Child suport/divorce

Your consent is not necessary. However, invest in legal services to at least initially considering the jurisdiction of the KS courts.

Re: Child suport/divorce

I will give you my suggestions as KS counsel...for goodness sake, contact KS counsel immediately. There may be all kinds of jurisdictional issues which the lay person does not understand. KS is a no-fault divorce state at present, meaning unless u can show irreparable harm by the actions of your wife, the court will not hear arguments of fault of mom and dad. There will be a child support calculation based upon the income available to mom and dad, the ages of the children, any special needs and definitely travel costs for visitation should be taken into consideration by the court. I would alert you not to let orders be put in place w/o you having benefit of KS legal counsel. Good luck.
