Child Custody, Child Support and Visitation
The Courts Will Look at What Is Best for Your Child
Too many people go through a divorce afraid they will lose custody of their children or lose influence over their kids' lives. Custody, visitation rights and child support issues are often the most contentious battles in a divorce.

If child custody and parenting time will be an important issue in your pending divorce, it may help calm things down by understanding how Kansas family law judges look at the issue. Understand this: The child's best interests will remain the court's primary interest throughout the divorce. The judge will require opposing sides to work diligently to resolve parenting issues as amicably as possible. They will only accept a parenting arrangement if they agree that the child's interests are paramount and the parenting time is fair for both parents.

When spouses cannot come to a negotiated agreement about custody arrangements, the court will determine the best interest of the child and recommend custody according to their findings. Visitation rights and child support obligations will be assigned accordingly.

What Will the Child Support Obligation Be?
Mr. Bressel receives many phone calls asking about child support obligations. Under Kansas law, monthly child support will be determined by a calculation that includes the gross incomes of both parents, as well as the number of children and their ages. But it is not that simple. No law firm should give a general answer about your specific child support levels without taking time to fully evaluate your financial circumstances. As your attorney, Mr. Bressel fights hard to ensure the income entered into the formula is a fair calculation of earnings and expenses.
