Child custody related issues

In the state of Kansas and Missouri, both parents are assumed to be joint custodians of their children. Joint legal custody means both parents should make joint decisions regarding their children’s health, education, and welfare.  In theory, joint custody regards both parents as having equal authority in raising their child(ren).  When parents divorce or separate, there are often disputes related to the children’s best interests.  Reasonable parents often disagree what is in their children’s best interest.  For instance, parents may disagree as to where the children will live on a primary or residential basis.  It is presumed under Kansas and Missouri law that parents know what it in their children’s best interest.  In every divorce, parents are given the opportunity, often times, several months, to figure out how they want to raise their children.  However, in the event the parents cannot agree, then a judge must decide on a parenting plan or schedule that is in the child’s best interests.  The judge must look at a number of factors when determining where the children will reside during and after a divorce petition has been filed.  Having tried negotiated  hundreds of family law cases in Missouri and Kansas, Eric Gamble is an experienced family law attorney who will take the time to listen, analyze, and advise you on your specific custody goals and expectations.

Child Support in Kansas and Missouri

Child support in Kansas is based upon the Kansas Child Support Guidelines.  You can find a link to the guidelines here. With today’s economy taking such a drastic downturn, it is now more than ever critically important to understand your right to receive or obligation to pay child support under the law.  Child support is a right of the child in Kansas and Missouri.  Often times, however, there are reasonable disputes as to what is a fair and appropriate amount for child support.  Is the order to high in light of a recent layoff or substantial decrease in income?  For those who own their own business, it is critical to know and understand the ins and outs of the child support guidelines.  In Missouri, child support is calculated under a Missouri Form 14.  In Kansas, a child support worksheet must be calculated and eventually approved by the court.   Are health insurance provisions, daycare costs, tax exemptions, or long distance parenting time expenses considered under the current order? These are just some of the factors that may warrant a modification of child support in your case.  If you are unsure of your legal obligations surrounding child support in Kansas or Missouri you should seek the advice of Eric Gamble, an experienced Kansas City child support attorney.   Eric Gamble has tried and/or negotiated hundreds of child support matters in Kansas and Missouri.  Call 913-432-0660 to schedule a consultation.

Property Division

In both Kansas and Missouri, all assets and debts acquired during the marriage must be divided.  In Kansas, the law requires that the marital property be divided equitably.  The same principle is applied in Missouri.  However, just like custody issues, reasonable people will often disagree to the definition of “equitable.”  Often, the court tries to make a 50/50 split of the marital property if the parties have been married for a significant period of time.  In addition, if you live in Johnson County or Wyandotte County, Kansas, there are mathematical guidelines for spousal maintenance.  Generally, a spouse will be entitled to maintenance if there is a significant disparity in the income of the parties.  Property and debt issues can be extremely complex.  Kansas City family law attorney Eric Gamble has negotiated and/or settled hundreds of family law cases involving contested issues of property.  Enlist an experienced Kansas City family law lawyer who can help you protect and advance your financial interests before, during, and after divorce or separation.  Call 913-432-0660 to schedule a confidential consultation.

Grandparent Visitation attorney

In limited circumstances, grandparents of children may have visitation rights under Kansas or Missouri law.  In Kansas, a petition for grandparent visitation may be brought under K.S.A. 38-139.  However, grandparent visitation rights will depend on the individual facts of each case.  As long as there is one parent who has not been found to be unfit, that parent’s wishes regarding grandparent visitation will generally trump the wishes of grandparents. The legal burden is on the grandparents to prove a substantial relationship with the child, and that court ordered visitation is in the child’s best interests.  Grandparent visitation cases can be won with the help and dedication of an experienced family law attorney, Eric Gamble.
