January 2019
We added a new question to our Indiana Custody page called What is a "de facto custodian" and can s/he get custody?
We added four crimes to our Kansas Crimes page, including "commercial sexual exploitation of a child" and "human trafficking" and we added the related statutes to our Selected Kansas Statutes page.
We revised all of the information in our Kansas Protection from Stalking, Sexual Assault, or Human Trafficking Orders section based on a 2018 law that includes human trafficking victims and we added three related statutes to our Selected Kansas Statutes page. We also added two new questions: What is the legal definition of human trafficking in Kansas? and Can a minor file for an order?
We revised the information in What types of orders are there? How long do they last? in our Kansas Protection from Abuse Orders page to clarify that a victim would contact law enforcement to apply for an emergency order when the courts are closed.
