Book Description
It is our opinion that Kansas law clearly and unequivocally seeks to avoid removing a child from his home, but permits such removal in order to protect and promote the welfare of the child. State law 1) unambiguously requires a judicial order for removal to be based upon the court's determination that leaving a child in the home is contrary to the child's welfare, and 2) provides for judicial determinations concerning reasonable efforts to keep children in their homes.
