What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
The State is Kansas, I have a six year old son that lives with his mother two hours away. I pay child support monthly as ordered by the State of Kansas SRS office. We have never gone to an actual hearing in front of a judge to establish child support and visitation. Everything was done by the Social and Rehab Services office.
I currently only get to see my son once a month and I have to drive the full two hours to pick him up and the two hours home to spend time with him. I would like to establish a more regular schedule of visitation for my son. I believe the only way to do this is to go through the court in able to get this set in stone.
My question is 1. Should I take this to court, or try to come to an agreement with her? and 2. Should i get a lawyer in the city I live in, or should I get a lawyer in the city where his mother lives? Because I assume the court case would be held in the city where my son and his mother live and I don't know how much a lawyer would charge for travel expenses.
Thanks for your time.
