Here is a list of cases when the marriage is considered as void:

  • Underage marriage (if the spouses were under age of 15 or 15 years old and did not get juridical consent, or they were 16 or 17 years old and did not get parents' or guardian's permission for it). 
  • Bigamy. 
  • The marriage induced by fraud. 
  • Incestuous marriage. 
  • The marriage induced by mistake. 
  • The marriage induced when a spouse had lack of knowledge of a material fact. 
  • One spouse lied or hidden some fact which is essential for the marriage. 
  • One spouse has impotence and another wants children. 
  • Any other reasons the court may consider as important and appropriate for annulment.

Custody of the child in Kansas

Custody of the child

The most states in the USA consider custody of a child according to the best interests of a child. The Kansas state is not an exception. So the decision about your child custody and visitation will be based of the following factors:

  • Parents' wishes about the child’s custody and visitation. 
  • Child’s adjustment to the community, home, neighbours, school. 
  • The ability of each parent to raise a child. 
  • Mental and physical health of each parent. 
  • Any history of alcohol or drug addiction. 
  • Any history of domestic violence. 
  • Relationship of a child with family members such as brothers, sisters, grandmother, grandfather, aunt, etc. 
  • The willingness of each parent to let the other parent see a child. 
  • The general atmosphere in a family. 
  • Any other factors the court may consider as important for a child’s life.

Rules for child support in Kansas

Both parents need to provide food, clothes, shelter, education for their children. Sometimes it is very difficult for one partner to earn enough money while he/she care about a child or children. Child support helps to cover general expenses for raising a child.

In cases, when some parents do not want to pay child support, according to the Kansas law, the court may enforce a parent to pay it.
In Kansas, there is a special service called CSE (Child Support enforcement) which has their methods how to make a parent to pay a child support. Some of the methods are passport denial, driver’s license restriction, credit bureau reporting, an income withholding order, etc.

Here is a common calculation of a child support (when an income of a parent is $6000 or less):

 

1 child

17% of income

 

2 children

25% of income

 

3 children

29% of income

 

4 children

31% of income

 

5 children or more

34% of income

If your ex-spouse disappeared and do not pay child support, you can also find him with the help of CSE. Child Support Enforcement will try to reach your ex-spouse even if he is in another state. It is possible to do as he/she may fill some hiring forms or send some tax documents, cell phone may also be helpful in your ex detection, if you know some detailed information about his/her phone.

Rules for spousal support in Kansas

Rules for spousal support

According to the Kansas law, either party may request an alimony. It is usually calculated according to the Johnson County Bar Association formula.
Deciding the alimony, its amount and duration depend on the following factors:

  • The length of the marriage. 
  • Partner’s ability to earn money. 
  • The mental and physical health of both parties. 
  • Amount of money both partners have. 
  • Amount of property the partners have. 
  • Partners’ age. 
  • Standard of living the spouses had during their marriage. 
  • The behavior of partners in marriage. 
  • Any other factors the court may consider as important for an accurate alimony calculation.

According to the Kansas law, the alimony usually can't be ordered for the longer period than 121 months.
There are 4 types of alimony:

  1. Transitional support. This type of support the spouse is paying for another spouse education, courses or rehabilitation (in case of some domestic violence or abuse). 
  2. General support. This type of support a spouse may receive when one partner’s income is bigger than the other’s partner income. The calculation of general support is based on the desire of a court to keep the standard of living both spouses had during their marriage. 
  3. Interim support. This type of support is paid temporarily during the pre-trial proceedings. 
  4. Reimbursement support. This support is usually paid when one partner helped another partner to get a good education or to increase his/her salary.

If the spouses have come to the agreement of a division of property and custody of children, then it may be rather convenient to initiate the Pro Se Divorce.
