Illinois Orders of Protection: What You Should Know

An order of protection is a court order that is meant to protect someone from abuse by a family or household member. Depending on the circumstances, an Illinois court may issue an emergency order of protection, an interim order of protection or a plenary order of protection. These orders may restrict contact, prohibit harassment or abuse and include other protections depending on the facts of the case. It is important to understand the process because an order can have an immediate impact on where someone lives and how family members communicate with each other.

Seeking or Responding to a Protection Order

Cases involving orders of protection can move quickly, particularly if an emergency order is requested. The person seeking protection may need to detail specific events and ask the court for appropriate protections. A person served with an order also has important rights and may have a chance to contest the allegations at a hearing. The result can affect family relationships, where people live, how they raise their children and other aspects of everyday life, so careful preparation is important.
