Filing:

When you use OnlineDivorce.com, we help you fill out your divorce paperwork using a simple online questionnaire. You can fill it out alone or with the assistance of your spouse. Then, you will need to get a signature from your spouse and you can file the divorce forms with your local court. In Kansas, you will typically file with the courthouse in the county in which you currently reside. If a petitioner is not currently a resident, but a defendant is, divorce is typically filed in the county where the defendant resides.

The actual filing process is explained in our detailed court-filing instructions that we provide along with your completed divorce forms. You can also obtain assistance from your local courthouse by calling or stopping by.

After the initial filing, you may need to follow up if there are any issues with your documents. When you use OnlineDivorce.com, we allow you to make small adjustments to your forms as requested by the court at no additional charge. Our goal is to help you obtain your divorce with as little hassle and stress as possible using our online divorce documents preparation service.

Residency:

Every state has specific requirements where divorcing couples must establish residency within the state they are divorcing. Kansas is no exception.

In order to file for a divorce in the State of Kansas, either of the two spouses must have been a resident for a minimum of sixty days.

There is an exception for military residence. Any person who has been a resident of or stationed at a United States post or military reservation in Kansas for 60 days immediately before the filing of the petition may file an action for divorce in any county adjacent to the post or reservation.

There are many ways to prove that residency has been established. The easiest way is if one or both spouses have a valid and in-date Kansas driver’s license, ID card or voter’s registration card which was issued at least six months before filing for divorce. If this is not the case, it may be possible to establish residency, by having someone who knows you or your spouse testify that you have lived in the state for at least six months. Additionally, it may be possible to use an Affidavit of Corroborating Witness form, and it should serve as proof you’ve lived in the state a minimum of six months.

OnlineDivorce reviews

Wesley H., Missouri
I started my divorce on my own, spending loads of money on lawyer visits in the beginning. So I decided to google for other ways and using this site was so much more simple!
James V., Texas
I had a very successful business at the time. So, making sure I had the right forms was very very important during my divorce. I was so surprised at how easy and smooth this process was.
Chloe J., Florida
After years of a tumultuous marriage, I finally decided that I needed to reclaim my life. I was looking for how to go about it and came across this site and they simplified and made the process of divorce easy for me. I never thought it would’ve been possible.
Will S., Colorado
Stress-free and easy! I was initially gonna hire a lawyer but I found online divorce the next best option. No muss, no fuss divorce. No big legal words that I’d have to have read 10 times to understand!
Marco P., California
California is expensive and divorce can be even more expensive in the end but I can say that this site payed everything out for me to follow, from child support to alimony. My ex agreed to go this way as well so it was a much less expensive option for us.
Tamara B., Nevada
Because of the whole dissolution of the marriage, I was struggling with two children and just in limbo with my husband at the time because of child support and alimony. I was a stay-at-home mom for 10 years. I just want to say that this site helped me sort it out. Thank you.
Theresa S., New York
I live in upstate NY and unfortunately one day I found myself in a situation for divorce. I was all out of whack, needed answers to take action. Enough was enough so I did it on this site. Everything was clear to understand, all forms and what to put in which box.
Livy B., Illinois
Onlinedivorce.com is the bomb! I mean, using it was so easy to follow. So, if you find yourself in this situation do your divorce here if possible. Documents for all stages, alimony, child support and all!

Custody of the child in Kansas

Custody of the child

If the parents have come to a reasonable agreement in regard to child custody, the court will approve it assuming it is in best interests of the child. If there is no agreement, the court will award joint or sole custody on their determination of the best interests of the children based upon the following factors:

  • How long the child may have been under the care of someone other than a par­ent;
  • Preference of the child who is mature enough to specify;
  • The desires of the parents;
  • The child’s familiarity to his or her home, school, and community;
  • The relationship the child has with parents, siblings, and other family members;
  • The willingness of the parents to respect and appreciate the bond between the child and the other parent and allow for it to continue and;
  • Any evidence of domestic abuse.

There is to be no preference given based on the sex of the parent, regardless of the age of the child. Joint custody may be awarded if the court finds both parents suitable. The court may order that a joint custody plan be submitted to the court by the parents. [Kansas Statutes Annotated; Chapter 60, Article 16, Subject 1610].

Rules for child support in Kansas

Kansas has put into place specific state-mandated child support guidelines which apply in virtually every case, barring exceptional circumstances. With this, both parties’ gross incomes and certain child related expenses are considered. In the majority of child support cases, payments continue until the child reaches eighteen years of age, and they may extend until the completion of the child or children’s secondary education.

Either of the parents (or both, in some cases) can be ordered to pay child support. These payments are determined without regard to any marital misconduct and are based on the following factors:

  • Any existing financial resources of the child or children;
  • The ongoing physical, emo­tional and educational needs of the child; and
  • The financial resources, requirements, and obligations of both of the parents.

In most cases, child support payments should be paid to the clerk of the court or through the court trustee. The court will inform both parties if there is any variation to this agreement. Please note that there are detailed Supreme Court Child Support Guidelines found in Kansas Statutes Annotated Chapter 20, Subject 165. [Kansas Statutes Annotated; Chapter 20, Article 1 Subject 165 and Chapter 60, Article 16, Subject 1610].

Rules for spousal support in Kansas

Rules for spousal support

Alimony, also known as spousal support, is sometimes ordered by the court to help one spouse live in a manner established during marriage after the divorce.

Either of the spouses, without regard to gender, may be awarded alimony for a period of up to 121 months. After the 121 months is complete, the recipient can apply for an extension of one more 121-month period. The amount awarded is determined by the court to be fair, just, and equitable. There are no specific factors for consideration and situations are judged on a case-by-case basis.

Payments should be made to the clerk of the court or through the court trustee. [Kansas Statutes Annotated; Chapter 60, Article 16, Subject 1610].

Property division in Kansas

Property division

When a couple chooses to divorce in Kansas, they must distribute property in a fair and agreeable manner.

Kansas is an “equitable distribution” state. The court may divide all of the spouse’s property, including:

  • Any gifts and inheritances;
  • Any property which was owned before the marriage;
  • Any property that was acquired by a spouse during the marriage; and
  • Any property acquired by joint effort.

Property distribution can include actually dividing the property, as well as an award of all or part of the property to one spouse with payment to the other, or selling of the property and dividing the proceeds. The court considers the following factors:

  • The value of each spouse’s property;
  • The duration of the marriage;
  • The current age of the spouses;
  • Whether the property awarded would be instead of or in addition to spousal maintenance;
  • How the property was acquired;
  • The current and future earning capacity of the two spouses;
  • Existing family ties and obligations;
  • Any dissipation of assets which has occured by one of the spouses;
  • The tax consequences of such property distribution; and
  • Any other factor necessary to assure a fair and equitable split. [Kansas Statutes Annotated; Chapter 60, Article 16, Subject 1610].
