In Kansas, a child cannot make legal decisions, so a child cannot decide with whom he or she is to live, or spend time. Nonetheless, as a child gets older, Kansas law allows the child's wishes to be considered in those decisions. A guardian ad litem may be appointed to represent the child's interests, or a child custody evaluation may be ordered. Consult an experienced family law attorney in your area.
