Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
Abuse protection can change parenting arrangements
Kansas courts can use protection-from-abuse orders to change certain custody, child residency, and parenting-time orders. This applies in parentage, divorce, separate-maintenance, and annulment cases, and includes certain temporary orders. The court needs sworn testimony showing good cause. An immediate and present danger of abuse to the person seeking protection or minor children counts as good cause.
Child-welfare orders control conflicting parenting arrangements
Kansas child-welfare and juvenile-justice orders control over conflicting protection-from-abuse orders involving the same child. This covers legal custody, parenting time, and orders about the child's best interests. That priority lasts until the child-welfare or juvenile-justice court's authority over the case ends. A conflicting order must identify the existing protection order and the custody change. A copy must be filed in the protection-from-abuse case.
Safeguards and limits for changing protection orders
Courts cannot change protection-from-abuse orders through one-sided requests or requests for temporary orders, except under the child-welfare and juvenile-justice rule. A later final order can change protections after a hearing or by agreement of both parties. A conflicting final order must identify the protection order and the parts being changed. Copies must be filed in both cases, and the court must consider joining the cases. These final-order rules also remain subject to the child-welfare and juvenile-justice rule.
