Johnson County Child Visitation Lawyer
If you don't have primary residential custody of your child, your rights to see your child will be determined by your visitation arrangement (also known as parenting time). At the law office of Weston R. Moore, Attorney at Law, in Olathe, Kansas, we offer a free initial consultation to discuss how child custody and visitation works.
In the past, most child custody plans worked something like this: mom had primary residential custody while dad got to see the kids one night during the week, every other weekend, alternate holidays, and an extended period of time in the summer. While this arrangement is still common, today many different visitation schedules are available.
Dads can have primary residential custody while moms can have visitation. Joint child custody plans where each parent has an approximately equal number of overnights are increasingly popular. In Kansas, grandparents may be granted visitation rights if it is in the best interest of the child.
Relocation and Visitation Rights
One of the fears that many divorced parents have is that their ex will move away with the kids. In Kansas, no parent with residential custody of a child can move out of the state without permission from the other parent or a court. In determining whether to approve the move, the court will consider the reasons for the move.
Attorney Weston Moore represents both residential parents who are seeking to move out of state as well as parents whose visitation rights would be affected by such a move.
Modification and Enforcement of Visitation Rights
If circumstances have changed since your divorce, your visitation rights can be modified by court order.
If your ex is not providing you visitation or child support, we can file an enforcement action with the same judge who issued your child custody order.
