Legal Question in Family Law in Kansas

Re: Want to move out of state with my kids

If you have given more than 30 days notice of your intent to move, it appears you have fulfilled the requirements of K.S.A. 60-1620. Keep the return receipt to prove service was accomplished. If your husband does not file a Motion for a Restraining Order within 30 days from his receipt of the Notice, you should be able to relocate with the kids. Remember that any objection filed by the kids' father may hinder your plans. It is better practice to work out a long-distance Parenting Plan while you wait for the 30 day period to expire. Child support also may be affected. We have recently completed two relocation cases involving Child Custody Evaluation Reports done by Family Court Services. The judge is very likely to follow the recommendations of the Court services staff.
