The Illinois Response to Petition for Order of Protection is a legal document which is completed by the respondent (person against whom the order of protection is sought) in response to a petition for an order of protection. The document is used to tell the court the respondent's position on the allegations in the petition. This document is filed with the court after the respondent has been served with the petition for order of protection. The Illinois Response to Petition for Order of Protection has two forms: one for civil orders of protection and one for stalking no contact orders. The civil order of protection form is used when the petitioner is seeking an order of protection due to domestic violence, harassment, or interference with personal liberty. It provides the respondent an opportunity to admit, deny, or state they lack knowledge of the allegations in the petition. The stalking no contact order form is used when the petitioner is seeking an order of protection due to stalking. It provides the respondent an opportunity to admit, deny, or state they lack knowledge of the allegations in the petition, as well as to request a hearing. In addition to the two types of forms, the respondent may also file a motion to dismiss the petition for order of protection when they believe the petitioner has failed to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Overall, the Illinois Response to Petition for Order of Protection is an important legal document which allows the respondent to state their position on the allegations in the petition and to request a hearing or motion to dismiss.
