Restraining Orders

A petition for a protection from stalking, sexual assault, or human trafficking order can be filed with a judge or clerk of the court in any district court.¹ If the petition is being filed by an adult on behalf of the minor, the law clarifies that the petition has to be filed in the county where the stalking, sexual assault, or human trafficking occurred.²

You can find the forms online in our KS Download Court Forms page. You can also get the forms from the clerk of the court at your local district court.³ To find a list of courthouses in Kansas, see our KS Courthouse Locations page. Remember to bring some form of identification (a driver’s license or picture I.D.) with you to the courthouse. You may also want to call the courthouse in advance (if you can) to see if there are certain times that petitions are presented to the judge.
