Illinois Law: Understanding Domestic Abuse

Domestic abuse is more than just hitting someone. Under the Illinois Domestic Violence Act, abuse can include physical abuse, harassment, intimidation of a dependent person, interference with personal liberty and willful deprivation. Illinois law can apply to spouses, former spouses, relatives, people who live or used to live together, people who share a child, and people who are or were in a dating relationship. The first important step is to find out whether your circumstances are covered by the law to help you decide what action might be available:

Orders of Protection and Other Legal Remedies

A protective order can afford a wide range of relief depending on the circumstances. The court can stop any further abuse and can deal with issues of access to a shared home, contact between the parties, children, personal property and more. Illinois law allows for emergency, interim, and plenary orders of protection, which are available in different situations and at different stages of a case. Because these cases can move quickly and have serious consequences, clear guidance can help you prepare for hearings and know what the court may consider.

Supporting Both Sides of a Domestic Violence Case

Domestic abuse proceedings can affect your family relationships, parenting issues, housing and other areas of your life for a long time. If you are seeking to obtain protection or responding to allegations of domestic abuse, O’Flaherty Law can help you understand the process and present your case to the court. Our Bloomington lawyers take time to learn the facts behind each case, explain your options in plain language and work toward a practical solution while protecting your legal rights.
