There are three types of protection from abuse orders in Kansas:
- Emergency protection from abuse order, which the victim requests when he or she is in immediate danger, and the courthouse is closed. This is valid until 5 pm on the next day that the courthouse is open.
- Temporary protection from abuse order, which is granted based on the victim’s testimony and lasts until the hearing for a permanent order takes place.
- Final protection from abuse order, which is only issued by the court after a hearing in which both sides present their case. The final order can last up to one year, but the court can extend it under certain conditions.
What a Protection from Abuse Order Can Do
Because a protection from abuse order can take many forms, it is important to have an experienced family law attorney in Wichita to represent your case.
A protection order can order one party not to abuse or molest the other, order the abuser to leave a shared home, require the abuser to provide alternate housing for the victim and any children, establish temporary child custody and visitation, and more. You can also learn more about restraining orders.
