HUGE news out of Kansas today!


In a precedent setting decision issued today, the Kansas Supreme Court has recognized the rights of a same-sex couple as parents with full and equal legal rights to custody, parenting time and child support.

The Court ruled that a parenting agreement between same-sex partners can be enforced in Kansas courts. The court also held that children of a same-sex couple have the same constitutional rights to have two parents as children of any other relationship.

Finally the Court reaffirmed the rights of District Courts to divide a same-sex couple’s jointly acquired property when the property was accumulated during their relationship.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is what equality looks like.
