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

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.

law process can work well for GLBT partners who want solution-oriented legal help with property division and
