In this video, our Tinley Park attorneys will explain the different types of Illinois Orders of Protection, including the difference between Illinois Emergency Orders of Protection, Interim Orders of Protection, and Plenary Orders of Protection. We will explain what Emergency Orders of Protection and Interim Orders of Protection are, how long they last, and what purposes they are used for.
Illinois Orders of Protection are court orders intended to protect the petitioner or another protected party from abuse by a family or household member. You should be aware that the definitions of the terms “abuse” and “family or household members” are both very broad.
