An Illinois Order (On Order of Protection Or No Contact Order) is a court order issued by the state of Illinois that protects a person from abuse, harassment, stalking, or other forms of violence. It is legally binding and requires the abuser to stay away from the person and their family, or face criminal charges. The two main types of Illinois Orders are On Order of Protection and No Contact Order. An On Order of Protection is issued to protect a person from physical or sexual abuse, stalking, harassment, or intimidation. This order can be used to protect a person from a current or former intimate partner, family member, or another person with whom they have a close relationship. This order can also be used to limit contact between the abuser and the victim. A No Contact Order is issued to protect a person from any form of contact with another person. This order is often used in cases of domestic violence or stalking. It requires the person to stay away from the victim, their home, school, workplace, or any other place they may frequent. If the order is violated, the abuser can face criminal charges. Both of these orders can be issued for a period of up to two years, or indefinitely. They can also be modified or revoked by the court.
