Legal Advice When You Need Protection Now

An Illinois order of protection can protect a person who has been abused by a family or household member. The law covers more than just current spouses. It may also consist of ex-spouses, relatives, individuals who reside or have resided together, individuals who share a child, and individuals who are or have been in a dating relationship. Illinois recognizes emergency orders, interim orders and plenary orders, each with its own procedures and time limits.

Protection That Can Do More Than Contact

Depending on the circumstances, an order of protection may require the respondent to stop abusive acts, stay away from protected persons, leave a shared home, stay away from a workplace or school, or comply with temporary provisions regarding children. Courts may also deal with financial support, damaged property, access to personal belongings, firearms and the protection of household animals. The relief given will depend on what is sought and what the court finds appropriate.
