A: Kansas has a protection from abuse process "to provide quick and immediate protection." The Kansas Judicial system has created a one-stop portal website. But if you think your website viewing is being monitored or checked by the person from whom you do not feel safe, you should call 911 to get the most immediate help. Before you access the website, you may want to use a private window (Safari, Firefox) or "incognito window" (Google Chrome) that does not record you web viewing--be sure to close the window when you are done using it. The Kansas Protective Order Portal (kspop.org) will help you get started in the process of seeking a protection order. The kspop.org website gets you plugged into the the system and provides you the necessary access to resources. If you are in fear for your safety, take action.
