An Illinois Civil No Contact Order is a court order issued in the state of Illinois that prohibits communications or contact of any kind between two parties. This includes physical contact, communications via letter, telephone, text or any other form of contact. The order is issued in a civil case to protect an individual from unwanted contact from another person, and is enforced by the police. There are two types of Illinois Civil No Contact Orders: an emergency order and a plenary order. An emergency order is issued in an emergency situation to protect an individual from imminent danger or harassment. A plenary order is issued after a hearing and can last up to two years. Both types of orders can be modified or extended by the court.
