Kansas Statute # 31-1315

Filing and enforcement of custody decree of another state 

		(a) A certified copy of a custody decree of
          another state may be filed in the office of the
          clerk of any district court of this state.  The
          clerk shall treat the decree in the same manner
          as a custody decree of the district court of this
          state. A custody decree so filed has the same
          effect and shall be enforced in like manner as a
          custody decree rendered by a court of this state.

                (b) A person violating a custody decree of
          another state which makes it necessary to enforce
          the decree in this state may be required to pay
          necessary travel and other expenses, including
          attorneys' fees, incurred by the party entitled
          to the custody or such party's witnesses.
