Kansas Child Custody Laws

Summary

In Kansas, a parent with sole custody generally has the right to relocate, but they must provide written notice to the other parent. The noncustodial parent can petition the court to prevent the move if its believed to interfere with their visitation rights. If you feel the guardian ad litem isnt doing their job, you can file a complaint with the court. If you disagree with a custody decision, you can appeal or request a modification. Kansas courts recommend the Children in the Middle online parenting course for parents going through custody issues.
