This is a court-funded portal available through your computer or mobile device. This site offers answers to questions about the process as well as provides additional resources. This is the preferred method for the court and is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
How it works:
-
Explore Resources – access to support and safety information, answers to common questions.
-
Check Eligibility – answer a few questions to see if you are eligible to file for a protection order.
-
Complete the application - respond to detailed questions, budget at least 30 minutes to complete; you can save and complete the petition later if needed.
-
File – Click on submit and your petition will be emailed to the Court Clerk. You will get further information by e-mail.
In-Person: Obtain paper packets through the link located here on this website. You may also pick up a paper packet located in the Lobby Area of the Sedgwick County District Court. Once completed, there is a drop box located in the same area at the front desk in the Lobby Area of the Sedgwick County Courthouse to leave your paper filing for review. The Lobby Area of the Sedgwick County Courthouse is open to the public during normal business hours from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding Government Holidays.
If you need assistance utilizing the portal or filling out your paper packet, you may contact the Sedgwick County Liaison’s office at (316) 660- 5290 to speak with a live person. The staff may be able to provide limited assistance to you with your forms.
