DISCLAIMER: PLEASE READ IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR LEGAL SERVICES
KCSDV does not provide direct services or legal assistance to victim/survivors. If you would like support from an advocate, you can look up your local Domestic and Sexual Violence program here and speak with an advocate about protection orders and safety planning. We caution victim/survivors to consider safety planning as part of seeking any protection order. For more information about safety planning please review this guide: KCSDV Guide to Planning for a Safe Exit from Abuse.
