Kansas City Family Law

Helping People Find Solutions with
Collaborative Law, Mediation & Litigation

Divorce is never easy, but it can be a time of personal growth and learning. Many couples seeking a divorce want to avoid the turmoil, negativity, and cost of going to court. They want control over the important decisions they are making and they want to reach reasonable, collaborative solutions to their problems. These people come to Kansas City divorce attorney Kay Madden.

At the law office of Slough Connealy Irwin & Madden, LLC, we’ve been challenging the status quo for more than 30 years. We’re a law firm with progressive values, helping our clients take control of their lives with collaborative law, mediation, and litigation services in all areas of family law. Contact Slough Connealy Irwin & Madden, LLC to learn more about how Kansas City family lawyer Kay Madden can help you.

Options in Divorce

“I’ve practiced family law for more than 20 years. Early in my career I worked with a labor lawyer whose work in arbitration showed me that problems could be resolved quickly and efficiently outside of the courtroom. Amicable divorces are less stressful on everyone. I want to help my clients find less harmful ways to separate. I took my first mediation class in 1991, learning to help clients through a collaborative process that involves everyone in reaching an agreement. In 2002, I took advanced mediation training. I’m well prepared to assist clients with litigation, mediation, and using the collaborative law process.”

Protecting the Interests of Children

“My work as a court-appointed Guardian ad litem has made me more conscious of the pain of divorce on children. As an advocate for children, I strive to help parents reach practical and peaceful child custody agreements.”

Kansas City divorce and Collaborative Law attorney Kay Madden represents a wide variety of clients seeking help with child custody agreements, visitation rights, and securing or paying child support, including:

  • Dissolution of marriage child custody cases
  • Paternity cases
  • Grandparents seeking visitation with their grandchildren
  • Lesbian and gay couples establishing and dissolving a relationship
  • Step parents adopting step children, and
  • Family members seeking guardianships of minor children or dependent adults

GLBT Couples

Slough Connealy Irwin & Madden, LLC has been supporting the Missouri GLBT community since 1981. We’re pleased to provide a full range of services to help GLBT families formalize their legal relationships through prenuptial / cohabitation agreements and estate planning services that are responsive to their unique needs.

It can be difficult to use the traditional family courts to end a same sex relationship. The collaborative law process can work well for GLBT partners who want solution-oriented legal help with property division and child custody and support agreements without jumping through the hoops of an unfriendly court.
