Illinois Domestic Violence Cover Sheet is a form used by the court in Illinois to protect victims of domestic violence. It helps to provide victims with legal protection from their abusers. It can be used to get a restraining order, also known as an order of protection, against an abuser. The Cover Sheet is necessary to start the process of obtaining an order of protection. There are two different types of Illinois Domestic Violence Cover Sheet: one for adults and one for minors. The adult form is used when someone ages 18 or older is seeking an order of protection against an abuser. The minor form is used when someone under the age of 18 is seeking an order of protection. Both forms contain information about the abuser, such as their name and address, as well as information about the relationship between the victim and abuser. They also require the victim to provide details about the abuse they have experienced. Once the forms are filled out accurately, they are submitted to the court.
