How Kansas Handles Child Custody
In Kansas, custody cases are heard in the district court, and judges decide legal custody, residency, and parenting time based on the best interests of the child. Kansas uses the word residency for where a child lives, and parenting time for the time a child spends with each parent.
Kansas law gives neither parent a vested right to custody over the other, and it does not allow a presumption that favors the mother because a child is young. Parents can agree on a parenting plan, and a judge will generally accept it if it serves the child. A parent who has committed domestic violence faces a presumption against receiving custody.
Unmarried fathers: paternity must be legally established, through a signed voluntary acknowledgment of paternity or a court order, before a Kansas father can ask the court for custody or parenting time.
A Kansas family law attorney can explain how these rules apply to your situation and what to expect in your county’s court.
