FAQ
To effectively file a restraining order in Kansas, you should gather strong evidence that supports your claims. Document any incidents of harassment, threats, or violence, and compile photographs, text messages, or emails related to these occurrences. Witness statements can also strengthen your case. By presenting clear and credible evidence, you can improve your chances of obtaining the protection you seek.
Temporary no-contact orders usually last up to thirty days, or until the court can hold a hearing to decide on a permanent duration. Other no-contact orders usually last up to one year, with the option for extending it as circumstances warrant.
A final order expires on the date set by the judge and can last for a period of up to one year, but can be extended under certain circumstances. See How can I change or extend my protection from stalking, sexual assault, or human trafficking order? for more information.
The Defendant will be served with the Petition and notified of the hearing date. Once the Defendant has been served with the Petition, the ?no contact? provisions go into effect. If the Defendant contacts you at all (in person, by telephone, etc.) you need to call the police immediately and file a report.
There is no fee for filing for a protection from abuse order in Kansas.
