Upon the filing of the petition, the court shall set the case for hearing. At the hearing, the court shall advise the parties of the right to be represented by counsel.

(b) Prior to the hearing on the petition and upon a finding of good cause shown, the court on motion of a party may enter such temporary relief orders in accordance with K.S.A. 60-31a06, and amendments thereto, or any combination thereof, as it deems necessary to protect the victim from being stalked, sexually assaulted or trafficked. Temporary orders may be granted ex parte on presentation of a verified petition by the victim supporting a prima facie case of stalking, sexual assault or human trafficking.
