Domestic Violence in Illinois: What You Need to Know

Domestic abuse is not just physical violence. In Illinois, abuse means physical abuse, harassment, intimidation of a dependent person, interference with personal liberty, and willful deprivation. These situations can occur between spouses, ex-spouses, people who are or were dating, people who share a child, and some other family or household members. At O’Flaherty Law, we take the time to listen to what happened and explain what legal options might be available to you based on your circumstances.

Waukegan Order of Protection

An Order of Protection can provide important legal protections in the case of domestic violence. In some situations, a court can require an alleged abuser to stop abusive behavior, stay away from the protected person, or leave a shared home. Orders can also include issues relating to children and contact between the parties. Our attorneys assist clients in preparing for the court process, gathering relevant evidence, understanding what relief they are seeking, and presenting their position at hearings.

Domestic Abuse and Family Law: Working Together

Family law issues, such as divorce, parenting time and parental decision-making, are often involved in cases of domestic abuse. Violence or abuse may be considered by courts when they are making decisions about what is best for a child in Illinois. O’Flaherty Law can help clients see the law as a whole, instead of looking at each issue by itself. Whether you are seeking protection or defending allegations of abuse, our aim is to provide practical advice, straightforward communication, and a legal strategy that suits your situation.
