Re: how to get written legal custody of my daughter

Because your question asks how to get written custody of your daughter, I assume there has been no divorce, legal separation or paternity case. If you were not married, the best alternative is to file a paternity case and establish in writing all parenting plan provisions. Kansas law sets forth some restrictions about relocating a child's residence. You should consult an attorney to learn more.

I would suggest you hire a lawyer and file a motion to modify custody and parenting time. Considering his actions and his threats, you may win. You can contact me directly at the email below.
