Divorce lawyer at The Law Office of Zoe Meigs, P.C.
You will need to file for divorce and request temporary spousal support and post-divorce spousal maintenance.  If your wife has income then the court may order her to pay you monthly support. If you are disabled,  the court may order your wife to pay support indefinitely.  If you own assets, you are also entitled to a share of the property and debts.

If you're all Texans for more than six months, Kansas won't have jurisdiction to entertain your divorce/custody case until you and the children have been there for six months, and if the kids are taken there without your spouse's actual or implied consent (or at least without his objection), you'll have a jurisdiction problem even then. This area is full of reasons for caution.
