Domestic violence is a situation that can arise between a divorcing couple or a couple who has never been married. Regardless of the circumstances surrounding the alleged domestic assault or abuse, it is important that steps be taken to prevent the violence from continuing. Whether you are attempting to obtain a restraining order or defending yourself against one, an experienced lawyer can help.

Temporary Orders of Protection

After an initial domestic violence or harassment incident, it is possible to get an immediate temporary order of protection. Also called a restraining order, your attorney can petition the court for this temporary order and have a hearing date set. At the hearing, both sides can appear and argue their cases, with the judge deciding whether or not the order be made permanent.

Permanent Protective Order

According to the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986, a protective order can be established in order to protect your property (such as preventing a spouse or significant other from taking property), parental rights (preventing a spouse or significant other from taking the children), and personal safety (with the alleged abuser being ordered to stay away from you and your children). This order, if approved by the court, will have specific parameters in place and a length of time that the order is to continue.

Temporary and/or permanent restraining orders can be enforced by law enforcement officials, and any violations are considered criminal actions.
