Child Custody Lawyer in Kansas
Child custody cases are often emotionally charged and take a toll on the entire family. Parents are often struggling to show that they are best suited to retain primary or physical custody of their child, which frequently leaves the child or children in the middle of the argument. While seeking an end to the child custody law case, it is important that each party keep the best interests of the child in mind.
At The Kelly Law Firm, we offer child custody representation to clients in Overland Park and throughout Kansas and Missouri. Attorney Melissa Kelly Schroeder is an experienced lawyer who founded our firm nearly 10 years ago with the intention of helping clients with the stress that the legal process may cause. Our firm helps clients with child custody matters within the context of a divorce, after a divorce, and for clients who have never been married to the other parent of their child.
We work to ensure the best interests of the child are served, while keeping our clients' goals in mind. The courts are required to view child custody cases, and decisions are guided by what is ultimately in the child's best interest.
Modification
Child custody orders sometimes need to be modified if there has been a significant change in the circumstance of one of the parents, such as the loss of a job or a criminal arrest. It is essential that changes be done by a court, and that you do not attempt to modify your custody or visitation order on your own. Any deviation from a standing order could result in a contempt charge being made against you. Speak with an experienced child custody lawyer should you need to alter you current custody arrangements.
Relocation
A matter that is almost always highly contested is relocation. Many parents may need to relocate to another state with the child due to a job loss or move. Determinations in relocation cases are very difficult to decide, even for the court. You want an experienced family law attorney to help you craft the strongest possible arguments protecting your access to your child. If you need to relocate or are attempting to prevent a move away, contact an attorney to prevent a violation your standing custody order.
