In Kansas, there are only two kinds of protection from stalking orders. An ex parte temporary order is often the first step and can be granted by the court based on the testimony of the alleged victim alone. This temporary order lasts until the full hearing. In responding to a protection order, the alleged stalker must show that there were no repeated acts, that the actions were not harassment, or that there was a valid reason for the activities in question.
