Country:
A class action has been filed against the State of Kansas alleging unlawful discrimination in domestic relations matters concerning child custody and child support from non-custodial parents. The complaint alleges that these parents do not enjoy the same degree of physical, possessory and legal rights regarding aspects of the care, custody and management of their children as do custodial parents. Class members seek immediate restoration of equal custodial rights along with other remedies.
The complaint alleges that the "Family Court" system has stripped non-custodial parents of their rights to be part of their children's lives by spouses, or ex-spouses, who deprive visitation or by having to pay unrealistic amounts of child support.
