If you wish to drop the PFA, the Court Clerk's office has the necessary forms. You will need to complete the forms and then have the Judge who issued the “No Contact” Order sign off on your dismissal. Do not drop the PFA if you still have concerns about your or your child(ren)'s safety.

If the court issues an extended order for protection, the adverse party can file an appeal to the district court. (There is no appeal allowed if the court denies an application to extend a protection order, only if the court grants the extension.)

Commonly known as a restraining order or an order of protection, PFA orders are designed to protect against "abuse," which is defined under Kansas Statutes §60-3102 as the attempt to intentionally or recklessly cause bodily injury, cause another to have fear of imminent bodily injury, and/or engage in sexual activities ...

If granted, protection from stalking order states that the perpetrator: Cannot follow, harass, call, or make contact with the victim. Cannot violate the victim's privacy rights. Cannot enter the victim's home or the area around it.

You may also be able to reapply for a PFA order if a new incident of domestic abuse occurs after you are denied the order. If you believe the judge made an error of law, you can talk to a lawyer about the possibility of an appeal. Generally, appeals are complicated and you will most likely need the help of a lawyer.
