FAQ
Starting a No Contact Order in Illinois requires the following steps: Submit a petition online or at the courthouse in the relevant county. Present your case to the judge. The court can grant a permanent Civil No Contact Order, which takes on different level of permanency depending on the context.
Using the facts of the incident only, keep your statement brief and to the point. Briefly describe the most recent incident of abuse and/or threats of abuse or other behaviors. Focus on the actual behavior. Do not include prior incidents, (that will be the next paragraph).
Individuals seek no contact orders by going to their local court in their jurisdiction or the jurisdiction of the defendant. They will need to complete a form that identifies the reason why the no contact order should be issued and the places the person wants protected.
The Illinois Domestic Violence Act tells the reader what a court must find to issue an order of protection and then asks the reader to piece together the proofs to allow the court to make that finding. Physical harm or threat of physical harm to the petitioner. Conduct that causes emotional distress to the petitioner.
A significant change in circumstances, such as improved behavior, completion of anger management or counseling programs, or evidence that the risk of violence has diminished, may provide grounds for seeking the dismissal of a restraining order.
A petition for a civil no contact order may be filed in any county where (1) the petitioner resides, (2) the respondent resides, or (3) the alleged non-consensual sexual conduct or non-consensual sexual penetration occurred. (Source: P.A. 93-236, eff. 1-1-04.)
You should also know that pre-trial no contact orders are very rarely dropped even if the victim does request the order be lifted. The no contact order will remain in effect until the case is resolved at trial or lifted eariler at either your or his request, which I will again point out rarely occurs.
California law defines abuse as any act that puts you, your children, or another person in immediate fear of injury, as well as any act that causes harm to you or your property. If such harm exists, you can file a request for an order to keep the abuser away.
