Can a Protection from Abuse order help me?
The upgraded Kansas Protection Order Portal is live statewide. The upgraded portal includes these changes:
Petitions are delivered to eFlex courts via eFiling rather than email. Instruction sheets for processing cases via eFlex for CCMS and FullCourt courts are on the judicial branch intranet.
Use this document (fillable form attached below) to chose the person who will carry out your health care instructions in case you are not conscious or are unable to make those decisions.
You do not have to chose a family member. If you do, make sure to give that person a notarized copy. Also share the document with other family members and give a copy to your doctor.
This document only gives powers to your chosen person while you are living. You may take away that power or change it at any time.
This form may be signed prior to a hospitalization to make clear your wishes in certain health care situations. A copy should be provided to the hospital, at admission. You may also wish to provide one to your primary doctor.
The form, attached below, is fillable.

You should review this information before completing the Protection from Abuse forms provided by the Kansas courts.

When domestic violence makes national news, it is more often than not when a high profile celebrity is involved, as when Chris Brown was charged with assaulting his then-girlfriend Rhianna in 2009 or when the football player Ray Rice punched out his fiance, Janay Palmer.
You have the right to make decisions now regarding your own health care in the future.
What is Advance Care Planning?
Advance Care Planning is a process for helping you understand possible future health care choices. Reflect on your own values and goals and discuss your choices with those persons closest to you. You may also put your wishes in writing in case you become unable to make your own decisions in the future.
