As long as there is a hearing on the calendar, I will show up in the assigned courtroom regardless if my lawyer believes it will be done on "paper". I had a hearing "canceled" last week. Even after my lawyer called to confirm it was canceled I double checked with the court to be sure it was no...

The court will try to notify you, but if you do not have the correct address on record with them, you may not get the notices in time. If your attorney has not filed an entry of appearance on your behalf the court does not know to send him/her a notice. This is your child and your case, you...

LOL AJ! I knew him 11 years ago when I got pg! I don't know him NOW! We were very young and people change all the time. We haven't even been friends in the loosest of terms in over 8 years. What mutual friends we had then were told by him they had to choose sides, if they didn't and he...

Sadly I don't know my son's dad all that well. Regardless, I can't think of anything truly damning to either one of us. My son's dad is not easy to work with and my son's therapist, teachers, and friends would all agree but I don't think that would preclude him from being a dad. I follow all...

My son's dad & I went to conciliation in April due to my son's dad wanting to enroll our son in his school district instead of mine for the next school year. My son's dad refused to discuss the matter in our court ordered co-parenting counseling saying he wanted it to go to trial and why waste...

Where I'm at in KS the clerk has said if we don't have a hearing set before the end of this school year then we likely wouldn't have a decision made before next school year begins if it has to go to trial. I do not get why people are unwilling to discuss their options and what they think...

I don't think it would be considered under the table. I always reported it as income to my CPA. I wouldn't want to assume whether he reported it to his. It just wasn't court ordered in any way. I just don't want the court to determine he hasn't paid based on the fact that we didn't have...

I think my case is all kinds of screwed up from the get go and it is just now starting to get straightened out. My son's dad and I have previously managed to come up with our parenting arrangements and such either through mediation or offline. The parenting plan was always submitted to the...

I didn't think it was long distance either. Other states have a minimum number of miles written into their guidelines, but KS just has that vague sentence about it. We have 50/50 shared physical & legal and we also see a co-parenting counselor every 3 weeks to help us co-parent better, but...

I know this is an older post and I'll probably get yelled at for commenting, but after reading it and the following comments and no one else picked up on this I HAD to post... Note the highlighted sections in the OP. WHY are you not questioning why this grandad wants these girls so often and...

Blah... Kansas sure does like to rely heavily on "judicial discretion". I live 18 miles from my ex and he is requesting a long distance parenting plan with him as the primary residential parent during the school year. Conciliation didn't work and I'm not actually sure why. I had to wait in...

Does anyone know what the "standard" (if there is one) distance between parents would be considered "long distance" by the courts in Kansas?

Vietjohn: you really would do yourself a favor by not posting any of this online. The best advice I have heard from AJ; quit talking about it. Talk to no one but your lawyer. You really don't want to be airing your dirty laundry on a forum where you don't know who is behind the screen name...

Does aunt have custody through the courts?

Make a phone call to the police or sheriff department where the rape occurred in NJ. They will then work with the detectives in KS to get your statement to begin the investigation of your case. You can do this from KS, but you have to begin by reporting it to the NJ jurisdiction where the rape...

Joint legal means you both have equal say in the major decisions. School, medical, religion, etc. Joint physical basically means where the child is residing and is used for determining which school district the child goes to and sometimes for child support purposes.

Who is considered the residential parent by the courts today? That is likely who they will continue to consider the residential parent. Sounds like you have 50/50 shared parenting going on now, why does it matter who is considered the residential parent?

Got my fake ID confiscated at Albertsons over the weekend trying to buy beer. The guy told me to leave or he would call the police, so I left. But then I called today and pretended I was a parent and asked what they do with fake IDs and they said they send them to a detective in Ventura, CA -...

Thanks Army Judge. I'd love to find a lawyer that were not intimidated, but the good ones that might actually be able to handle it all have a problem with knowing or having some kind of conflict with the grandpa or they were "retained" by the grandparents for their rights (even though they...
