An Illinois Body Attachment Order is a court order that requires the presence of a person in a court proceeding. This type of order is used when the person has failed to comply with a prior court order or to appear in court for a hearing or trial. There are two types of Illinois Body Attachment Orders: a Writ of Bodily Attachment and a Citation to Discover Assets. A Writ of Bodily Attachment is issued when a court orders a person to appear in court and the person has failed to do so. This type of order authorizes law enforcement to arrest the person and bring them to court. A Citation to Discover Assets is issued when a court believes that a person has failed to comply with a prior court order or to appear in court for a hearing or trial. This type of order authorizes law enforcement to locate and seize the person's assets in order to satisfy the court's judgment.
