DIVORCE INFORMATION SHEET PRO SE FILING A pro se litigant in a civil case is required to follow the same rules of procedure and evidence which are binding upon a person who is represented by an attorney. Our legal system cannot function on any basis other than equal treatment of all persons. A party in a divorce action cannot expect the trial judge, court officials or an attorney for the other party to advise him or her of the law or court rules, or to see that his or her case is properly presented to the judge. An individual filing pro se in a civil case cannot be given either an advantage or a disadvantage solely because of proceeding without an attorney. THE PAPERWORK REQUIRED WILL BE AT LEAST AS COMPLEX AS PREPARING INCOME TAX RETURNS. Pro se litigants should inform themselves of their rights and seek legal counsel. RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS Either you or your spouse must have been resident of the State of Kansas for at least 60 days before the filing of the Petition for Divorce. Usually the divorce action is filed in the county in which you reside or your spouse resides. STARTING THE PROCEEDINGS The first step is to file a Petition for Divorce with the Clerk of the District Court. The petition must be accompanied by the appropriate filling fee or Poverty Affidavit if you are financially unable to pay the filing fee. The filing fee is $166.00. In addition, if you would like the other party served with the petition, you must provide a check or money order in the amount of $5.00 payable to the Miami County Sheriff. DOMESTIC RELATIONS AFFIDAVIT A Domestic Relations Affidavit form must be completed and filed with the Clerk of the District Court at the time of the filing of the Petition for Divorce or before the scheduled hearing date. PARENTING PLAN If you have children of this marriage a Parenting Plan must be filed at the same time you file your Petition for Divorce. This may be a temporary parenting plan or a permanent parenting plan. If you and your spouse cannot agree on a parenting plan you may request Mediation. Mediation will be ordered upon request and will be provided by Court Services Officers without cost to parents. If parents cannot agree as to custody or visitation, mediation should take place before a hearing on the divorce is scheduled.

SERVING THE PAPERS There are two ways to notify your spouse officially that you have filed a divorce action: 1. Your spouse may sign a written receipt (called and "Entry of Appearance") for a copy of the petition and any other papers filed at the same time. The signing of the receipt acknowledges that the Court has jurisdiction over the parties. It does not mean that your spouse has agreed to any of the requests in the petition or other papers filed. If your spouse is unwilling to sign a receipt the Sheriff will deliver ("serve") a copy of the Petition to your spouse. Your spouse will then have twenty days in which to answer or oppose the petition. If your spouse does not live in Kansas they will have thirty days to answer or oppose the petition.

2.

HEARING DATE Kansas law provides that a divorce shall not be heard prior to the expiration of 60 days from the date on which the petition for divorce is filed unless an emergency hearing is requested. The party filing the action must be present at the divorce hearing. The Judge's office can provide you a hearing date. As the Petitioner you are required to send notice of the hearing to your spouse. Proof of this Notice of Hearing will have to be filed in your case prior to your divorce hearing. On the day of the hearing be sure to bring your Decree of Divorce, the completed Worksheet for Certificate of Divorce or Annulment and any documents required by the Judge. The worksheet must be delivered to the Clerk of the District Court at the time of the filing of the Decree of Divorce. DIVORCE HEARING Your divorce may be "contested" or "uncontested". If you and your spouse agree on all aspects of property settlement and the payment of liabilities and court costs your divorce hearing will be "uncontested". If your spouse disputes any of these matters, you have a "contested" divorce. In either case, a trial before the District Judge is required, but it may be a brief hearing in an "uncontested" case.

CHANGE OF NAME The name of either party can be changed in the Divorce Decree if he or she took the name of the other spouse at marriage and now wants to go back to a former or maiden name.

PARENTING GUIDELINES It is usually in your child's best interest for each parent to have frequent, meaningful and continuing access to your child(ren). A Parenting Plan Agreement made by both parents is preferred to a court imposed solution. However, if one or both parents are unable to agree on a schedule of parenting time, the following guidelines shall be used in most cases. In situations where the noncustodial parent may not have had on-going contact with the child(ren), initial visitation may be shorter. Further, these provisions may not be applicable to very young children or in situations where geographical distances between parents make compliance impossible. The parents, in exercising parenting time, should be flexible and adapt to the existing circumstances, such as the child's age, on-going activities, and any religious holidays not set out below. If the parents do not agree otherwise, the following shall be considered the MINIMUM schedule of parenting time to which the non-custodial parents shall be entitled: Parenting Time and Contact Guidelines. The following is a sample parenting time and contact schedule that the judges in this district will normally consider minimally consistent with the best interests of the child(ren) under a joint legal custody and parenting time order. Provision should be made for extended summer visitation, as appropriate. The presumed minimum is at least ½ of the summer break. 1. Alternate Weekends: Parent B to have alternate weekend parenting time beginning at 6:00 p.m. on Friday until 7:00 p.m. on Sunday. Evening Physical Custody: Parent B to have one weekday evening per week which, if feasible, should be overnight. Easter Weekend: Parenting time with parent B from 6:00 p.m. Friday until 7:00 p.m. Sunday during even numbered years and with parent A during odd numbered years. Spring Break: Parenting time with each parent during one half of the spring break, with a transfer to occur on Wednesday evening at 7:00 p.m.. The parent normally having the child during the first weekend of spring break shall continue to have the child until the Wednesday transfer.

Father's Day: From 9:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. with the child's father. Independence Day: From 6:00 p.m. July 3 until 9:00 p.m. on July 5 with parent A during even numbered years and parent B during odd numbered years. Labor Day: From 6:00 p.m. Friday until 7:00 p.m. Monday with parent B during even numbered years and parent A during odd numbered years. Halloween: A minimum of three hours Halloween evening with parent A in even numbered years and parent B during the odd numbered years. Thanksgiving: From 7:00 p.m. Wednesday until 7:00 p.m. Thursday with parent B during even numbered years and parent A during odd numbered years. Christmas Eve.

New Years Eve and New Years Day: From 7:00 p.m. December 30 until 7:00 p.m. on the evening before school resumes with parent B in even numbered years and parent A in odd numbered years. Parent's Birthday: The child shall spend part of the day (a minimum of three hours) with the respective parent on that parent's birthday. Child's Birthday: The child shall spend the child's birthday with parent B in even numbered years and with parent A in odd numbered years. The child shall spend the day before or the day after child's birthday with the other parent. Vacation: After 30 days advance notice and consultation with the other parent, each parent may arrange to take a vacation trip with the child for a period not exceeding days.

Conflicts and Good-faith Considerations: a. Birthday - Holiday. Conflicts between a holiday and a birthday shall be resolved in favor of the holiday schedule. However, the parties are directed to be flexible in allowing the birthday to be celebrated before or after the holiday period. b. Weekend - Holiday. Conflicts between weekends and holidays shall be resolved in favor of the holiday schedule. c. Weekend. The schedule of weekend parenting time shall be determined without regard to whether the regular schedule has been preempted for time to time by one of the scheduled holidays. There shall be no adjustment for "missed" weekends due to interruption by the holiday visitation schedule, however, the parties are encouraged to compensate for missed parenting time so a non-residential parent will not go three weekends without seeing the child. d. Adjustments. It is expected that parents will exercise good faith with each other and act in the best interests of their child(ren) so that each parent can have a full and active participation in the lives of their child(ren). Any parenting plan or schedule, for example, should take into consideration the age of the child. For infants and preschool children, consideration should be given to scheduling more frequent but shorter contacts with parent B during the week on a routine and consistent basis. Consideration should also be given to older adolescents whose personal schedules may interfere with these guidelines. Telephone and Internet Communication. Telephone calls and Internet communication between parent and child should be liberally permitted at reasonable hours and at the expense of the calling parent. Weekly telephone communication with the child should be permitted. Mail and e-mail Contact. Parents and children should have an unrestricted right to send cards, letters, packages, audio, video and e-mail communications to each other. Neither parent should interfere with this right. Long Distance Parenting. When there is a significant geographical distance separating the two parents, parenting plans should provide for the following: a. Weekly telephone contact. b. Longer periods of parenting time during school holidays. c. Extended summer residency for school age children. d. The parent having residency where the child goes to school shall send school records, school calendars, school photographs, activities schedules, report cards, standardized test results, etc. on a frequent basis to the other parent.

Unless prior arrangements are made, the non-custodial parent shall pick up the child(ren) at the times specified and return them at the times specified. The custodial parent shall have the child(ren) ready for the parenting time at the time they are to be picked up and shall be present at the

Pro Se Divorce Packet

home to receive the child(ren) at the time they are returned. The non-custodial parent shall give the custodial parent three (3) days prior notice if he/she does not intend to exercise scheduled parenting time; in emergency situations notice shall be given as soon as possible under the circumstances. Each parent shall supply the other with his/her current address and telephone number. Each parent shall allow liberal but reasonable telephone and mail privileges with the child(ren). The custodial parent shall share all school and medical reports within ten (10) days of their receipt and shall immediately notify the non-custodial parent in the event of a medical emergency. The custodial parent shall inform the non-custodial parent of school and/or social functions permitting parental participation within twenty-four (24) hours of receipt of notification of such function. Neither parenting time nor child support is to be withheld due to either parent's failure to comply with a Court order. If a dispute arises concerning parenting time, the parents shall first attempt to resolve the dispute by Mediation with the assistance of Pat Jackson. Mr. Jackson can be reached at 620-223-1370 or 913-795-2663. If the parents mutually agree to change the custody or parenting time provisions of their current Court order, they shall contact their attorneys and petition the Court to approve and order that change. In the event that the parties do not obtain a Court order the Court shall not be bound by any agreement of the parents.
