A:
To get a restraining order for cyber harassment or violent crimes in Kansas City, Missouri, start by going to the local courthouse. You can file a petition for an ex parte order of protection, which is a temporary order issued without the presence of the person you're filing against. This can provide immediate protection until a full hearing is held.
In the petition, describe in detail the harassment or violence you've experienced, including any evidence such as emails, text messages, or social media posts. Be thorough and clear, as this information helps the judge understand the urgency of your situation. Once the paperwork is filed, the judge may issue a temporary order if they believe there is an immediate threat.
After the ex parte order is granted, a full hearing will be scheduled within a few weeks. During this hearing, both parties can present their cases. It's important to attend this hearing and bring all relevant evidence and witnesses. If the judge finds sufficient cause, a longer-term order of protection will be issued.
