Mr. Bressel is recognized by his former clients, opposing family law attorneys, and family court judges throughout the region for his fair-minded, honest approach to helping his clients get the best possible outcome without dragging the process through unnecessary litigation. Mr. Bressel's divorce and family law services include...
Child Support
Mr. Bressel receives many phone calls asking about child support obligations. Under Kansas law, monthly child support will be determined by a calculation that includes the gross incomes of both parents, as well as the number of children and their ages. But it is not that simple. No law firm should give a general answer about your specific child support levels without taking time to fully evaluate your financial circumstances. As your attorney, Mr. Bressel fights hard to ensure the income entered into the formula is a fair calculation of earnings and expenses.
Child Custody and Visitation
If child custody and parenting time will be an important issue in your pending divorce, it may help calm things down by understanding how Kansas family law judges look at the issue. Understand this: The child's best interests will remain the court's primary interest throughout the divorce. The judge will require opposing sides to work diligently to resolve parenting issues as amicably as possible. They will only accept a parenting arrangement if they agree that the child's interests are paramount and the parenting time is fair for both parents.
Adoption
Spousal Support
Collaborative Law is a cooperative process for resolving disputes associated with divorce, separate maintenance, child custody, asset division, child and spousal support in a non-confrontational manner without court intervention. The process was developed to reduce conflict normally associated with customary divorce litigation by use of the collaborative approach to solving the family’s problems by the adjunct assistance of professional coaches on financial and psychological issues facing the family, all with the goal of promoting creative problem solving in family law matters.
