What are the criteria for an order of protection in Illinois?

In order to obtain an Emergency Order of Protection, you must appear before a Judge for a hearing to establish that abuse has occurred and that further abuse is likely to occur again if the abuser were given prior notice of the filing of your case.

Why would a judge deny an EPO?

There are a handful of reasons why a judge could decide to deny a petition for a protective order, including: The petitioner does not have sufficient evidence of abuse or harassment. The petitioner fails to complete their petition accurately and completely. The petitioner fails to attend their protective order hearing.

How long does epo last?

A protective order (EPO/TIPO) is effective until the court hearing is held, usually within 14 days. If the respondent has not been served with the EPO/ TIPO, the order will be continued until service is made (up to six months) or until the order is withdrawn by the court.

Whats the difference between an epo and a dvo?

A DVO is a final order by the court, but its not the first order that someone gets. The process actually begins when someone takes out an Emergency Protective Order (EPO). An EPO may or may not become a DVO. A domestic violence order involves a familial relationship.

How is an EPO different than a restraining order?

The victim who is asking for an EPO is referred to as a protected person and their family members are known as protected people in the order. Unlike other temporary restraining orders (TRO) or permanent restraining orders, an EPO can be requested by any law enforcement officer responding to the call.
