TOP 5 REASONS TO FIGHT KANSAS PROTECTION ORDER REQUESTS

As discussed HERE, protection orders are technically civil matters. However, the requesting party is making criminal allegations against you. Some decide not to fight the temporary orders because they don't want to have contact with the alleged victim anyway. This is flawed position to take where, there are other consequences connected to final protection orders. Here are just five, of the many, reasons you should defend yourself in Kansas protection order requests:

1. The Order may interfere with or cease your contact with your children;
2. You may have to move out of your primary residence, but still maintain some or all of the associated costs;
3. PFAs can appear in some background checks and impact your employment, housing, travel, involvement in your children's activities, citizenship requests, etc.;
4. The allegations may lead to criminal and/or Child Protective Services involvement; and
5. Only you are responsible for following the Order. Meaning you will be the person required to avoid certain places, events, people, contact, etc.. Even if you were there first or otherwise authorized to be present. The other party does not have the same requirement. 

Remember: Kansas takes violations of such Orders very seriously, and criminal charges may result if you violate it's Orders. Better to avoid ever having the Order made.
