Legal Question in Family Law in Kansas

custody

My exhusband had our custody go through Kansas knowing that I would not be able to go there financially. In the papers he lied about were my daughter address history so he could file in KS. The last place she lived for 6 months was VA. The papers went though in KS. Is there anything that I am able to do now about it? I am able to prove were she lived. But I think it might be too late.

Re: custody

The Uniform Child Custody Act (good in all 50 states) dictates that you must go to Kansas to get them to transfer the case to Virginia or wherever the child has lived for at least six months. If you can prove that jurisdiction was obtained wrongfully in Kansas, you could bring a petition here and have the Virginia judge declare the Kansas order void.

You would need a good lawer to do this.

Good luck
