|
| 1 | | remedies.
| 2 | | (a) (Blank).
| 3 | | (b) The court may order any of the remedies listed in this | 4 | | subsection (b) .
The remedies listed in this subsection (b) | 5 | | shall be in addition to other civil
or criminal remedies | 6 | | available to petitioner.
| 7 | | (1) Prohibition of abuse. Prohibit respondent's | 8 | | harassment,
interference with personal liberty, | 9 | | intimidation of a dependent, physical
abuse , or willful | 10 | | deprivation, as defined in this Article, if such abuse has
| 11 | | occurred or otherwise appears likely to occur if not | 12 | | prohibited.
| 13 | | (2) Grant of exclusive possession of residence. | 14 | | Prohibit respondent
from entering or remaining in any | 15 | | residence, household, or premises of the petitioner,
| 16 | | including one owned or leased by respondent, if petitioner | 17 | | has a right
to occupancy thereof. The grant of exclusive | 18 | | possession of the residence, household, or premises
shall | 19 | | not affect title to real property, nor shall the court be | 20 | | limited by
the standard set forth in Section 701 of the | 21 | | Illinois Marriage and
Dissolution of Marriage Act.
| 22 | | (A) Right to occupancy. A party has a right to | 23 | | occupancy of a
residence or household if it is
solely | 24 | | or jointly owned or leased by that party, that party's | 25 | | spouse, a
person with a legal duty to support that | 26 | | party or a minor child in that
party's care, or by any |
| | | SB0558 Enrolled | - 23 - | LRB100 04867 SLF 14877 b |
|
| 1 | | person or entity other than the opposing party that
| 2 | | authorizes that party's occupancy (e.g., a domestic | 3 | | violence shelter).
Standards set forth in subparagraph | 4 | | (B) shall not preclude equitable relief.
| 5 | | (B) Presumption of hardships. If petitioner and | 6 | | respondent
each has the right to occupancy of a | 7 | | residence or household, the court
shall balance (i) the | 8 | | hardships to respondent and any minor child or
| 9 | | dependent adult in respondent's care resulting from | 10 | | entry of this remedy with (ii)
the hardships to | 11 | | petitioner and any minor child or dependent adult in
| 12 | | petitioner's care resulting from continued exposure to | 13 | | the risk of abuse (should
petitioner remain at the | 14 | | residence or household) or from loss of possession
of | 15 | | the residence or household (should petitioner leave to | 16 | | avoid the risk
of abuse). When determining the balance | 17 | | of hardships, the court shall also
take into account | 18 | | the accessibility of the residence or household.
| 19 | | Hardships need not be balanced if respondent does not | 20 | | have a right to occupancy.
| 21 | | The balance of hardships is presumed to favor | 22 | | possession by
petitioner unless the presumption is | 23 | | rebutted by a preponderance of the
evidence, showing | 24 | | that the hardships to respondent substantially | 25 | | outweigh
the hardships to petitioner and any minor | 26 | | child or dependent adult in petitioner's
care. The |
| | | SB0558 Enrolled | - 24 - | LRB100 04867 SLF 14877 b |
|
| 1 | | court, on the request of petitioner or on its own | 2 | | motion,
may order respondent to provide suitable, | 3 | | accessible, alternate housing
for petitioner instead | 4 | | of
excluding respondent from a mutual residence or | 5 | | household.
| 6 | | (3) Stay away order and additional prohibitions.
Order | 7 | | respondent to stay away from petitioner or any other person
| 8 | | protected by the domestic violence order of protection, or | 9 | | prohibit respondent from entering
or remaining present at | 10 | | petitioner's school, place of employment, or other
| 11 | | specified places at times when petitioner is present, or | 12 | | both, if
reasonable, given
the balance of hardships. | 13 | | Hardships need not be balanced for the court
to enter a | 14 | | stay away order or prohibit entry
if respondent has no | 15 | | right to enter the premises.
| 16 | | (A) If a domestic violence an order of protection | 17 | | grants petitioner exclusive possession
of the | 18 | | residence, or prohibits respondent from entering the | 19 | | residence,
or orders respondent to stay away from | 20 | | petitioner or other
protected persons, then the court | 21 | | may allow respondent access to the
residence to remove | 22 | | items of clothing and personal adornment
used | 23 | | exclusively by respondent, medications, and other | 24 | | items as the court directs.
The right to access shall | 25 | | be exercised on only one occasion as the court directs
| 26 | | and in the presence of an agreed-upon adult third party |
| | | SB0558 Enrolled | - 25 - | LRB100 04867 SLF 14877 b |
|
| 1 | | or law enforcement officer.
| 2 | | (B) When the petitioner and the respondent attend | 3 | | the same public, private, or non-public elementary, | 4 | | middle, or high school, the court when issuing a | 5 | | domestic violence an order of protection and providing | 6 | | relief shall consider the severity of the act, any | 7 | | continuing physical danger or emotional distress to | 8 | | the petitioner, the educational rights guaranteed to | 9 | | the petitioner and respondent under federal and State | 10 | | law, the availability of a transfer of the respondent | 11 | | to another school, a change of placement or a change of | 12 | | program of the respondent, the expense, difficulty, | 13 | | and educational disruption that would be caused by a | 14 | | transfer of the respondent to another school, and any | 15 | | other relevant facts of the case. The court may order | 16 | | that the respondent not attend the public, private, or | 17 | | non-public elementary, middle, or high school attended | 18 | | by the petitioner, order that the respondent accept a | 19 | | change of placement or change of program, as determined | 20 | | by the school district or private or non-public school, | 21 | | or place restrictions on the respondent's movements | 22 | | within the school attended by the petitioner. The | 23 | | respondent bears the burden of proving by a | 24 | | preponderance of the evidence that a transfer, change | 25 | | of placement, or change of program of the respondent is | 26 | | not available. The respondent also bears the burden of |
| | | SB0558 Enrolled | - 26 - | LRB100 04867 SLF 14877 b |
|
| 1 | | production with respect to the expense, difficulty, | 2 | | and educational disruption that would be caused by a | 3 | | transfer of the respondent to another school. A | 4 | | transfer, change of placement, or change of program is | 5 | | not unavailable to the respondent solely on the ground | 6 | | that the respondent does not agree with the school | 7 | | district's or private or non-public school's transfer, | 8 | | change of placement, or change of program or solely on | 9 | | the ground that the respondent fails or refuses to | 10 | | consent or otherwise does not take an action required | 11 | | to effectuate a transfer, change of placement, or | 12 | | change of program. When a court orders a respondent to | 13 | | stay away from the public, private, or non-public | 14 | | school attended by the petitioner and the respondent | 15 | | requests a transfer to another attendance center | 16 | | within the respondent's school district or private or | 17 | | non-public school, the school district or private or | 18 | | non-public school shall have sole discretion to | 19 | | determine the attendance center to which the | 20 | | respondent is transferred. If the court order results | 21 | | in a transfer of the minor respondent to another | 22 | | attendance center, a change in the respondent's | 23 | | placement, or a change of the respondent's program, the | 24 | | parents, guardian, or legal custodian of the | 25 | | respondent is responsible for transportation and other | 26 | | costs associated with the transfer or change. |
| | | SB0558 Enrolled | - 27 - | LRB100 04867 SLF 14877 b |
|
| 1 | | (C) The court may order the parents, guardian, or | 2 | | legal custodian of a minor respondent to take certain | 3 | | actions or to refrain from taking certain actions to | 4 | | ensure that the respondent complies with the order. If | 5 | | the court orders a transfer of the respondent to | 6 | | another school, the parents, guardian, or legal | 7 | | custodian of the respondent is responsible for | 8 | | transportation and other costs associated with the | 9 | | change of school by the respondent. | 10 | | (4) Counseling. Require or recommend the respondent to | 11 | | undergo
counseling for a specified duration with a social | 12 | | worker, psychologist,
clinical psychologist, psychiatrist, | 13 | | family service agency, alcohol or
substance abuse program, | 14 | | mental health center guidance counselor, agency
providing | 15 | | services to elders, program designed for domestic violence
| 16 | | abusers or any other guidance service the court deems | 17 | | appropriate. The court may order the respondent in any | 18 | | intimate partner relationship to report to an Illinois | 19 | | Department of Human Services protocol approved partner | 20 | | abuse intervention program for an assessment and to follow | 21 | | all recommended treatment.
| 22 | | (5) Physical care and possession of the minor child. In | 23 | | order to protect
the minor child from abuse, neglect, or | 24 | | unwarranted separation from the person
who has been the | 25 | | minor child's primary caretaker, or to otherwise protect | 26 | | the
well-being of the minor child, the court may do either |
| | | SB0558 Enrolled | - 28 - | LRB100 04867 SLF 14877 b |
|
| 1 | | or both of the following:
(i) grant petitioner physical | 2 | | care or possession of the minor child, or both, or
(ii) | 3 | | order respondent to return a minor child to, or not remove | 4 | | a minor child
from, the physical care of a parent or person | 5 | | in loco parentis.
| 6 | | If the respondent is charged with abuse
(as defined in | 7 | | Section 112A-3 of this Code ) of a minor child, there shall | 8 | | be a
rebuttable presumption that awarding physical care to | 9 | | respondent would not
be in the minor child's best interest.
| 10 | | (6) Temporary allocation of parental responsibilities | 11 | | and significant decision-making responsibilities legal | 12 | | custody .
Award temporary significant decision-making | 13 | | responsibility legal custody to petitioner in accordance | 14 | | with this Section,
the Illinois Marriage
and Dissolution of | 15 | | Marriage Act, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015,
and this | 16 | | State's Uniform Child-Custody
Jurisdiction and Enforcement | 17 | | Act.
| 18 | | If the respondent
is charged with abuse (as defined in | 19 | | Section 112A-3 of this Code ) of a
minor child, there shall | 20 | | be a rebuttable presumption that awarding
temporary | 21 | | significant decision-making responsibility legal custody | 22 | | to respondent would not be in the
child's best interest.
| 23 | | (7) Parenting time Visitation . Determine the parenting | 24 | | time
visitation rights , if any, of respondent in any case | 25 | | in which the court
awards physical care or temporary | 26 | | significant decision-making responsibility legal custody |
| | | SB0558 Enrolled | - 29 - | LRB100 04867 SLF 14877 b |
|
| 1 | | of a minor child to
petitioner. The court shall restrict or | 2 | | deny respondent's parenting time visitation with
a minor | 3 | | child if
the court finds that respondent has done or is | 4 | | likely to do any of the
following: | 5 | | (i) abuse or endanger the minor child during | 6 | | parenting time visitation ; | 7 | | (ii) use the parenting time
visitation as an | 8 | | opportunity to abuse or harass petitioner or
| 9 | | petitioner's family or household members; | 10 | | (iii) improperly conceal or
detain the minor | 11 | | child; or | 12 | | (iv) otherwise act in a manner that is not in
the | 13 | | best interests of the minor child. | 14 | | The court shall not be limited by the
standards set | 15 | | forth in Section 603.10 607.1 of the Illinois Marriage and
| 16 | | Dissolution of Marriage Act. If the court grants parenting | 17 | | time visitation , the order
shall specify dates and times | 18 | | for the parenting time visitation to take place or other
| 19 | | specific parameters or conditions that are appropriate. No | 20 | | order for parenting time
visitation shall refer merely to | 21 | | the term "reasonable parenting time" "reasonable | 22 | | visitation" . Petitioner may deny respondent access to the | 23 | | minor child if, when
respondent arrives for parenting time | 24 | | visitation , respondent is under the influence of drugs
or | 25 | | alcohol and constitutes a threat to the safety and | 26 | | well-being of
petitioner or petitioner's minor children or |
| | | SB0558 Enrolled | - 30 - | LRB100 04867 SLF 14877 b |
|
| 1 | | is behaving in a violent or abusive manner. If necessary to | 2 | | protect any member of petitioner's family or
household from | 3 | | future abuse, respondent shall be prohibited from coming to
| 4 | | petitioner's residence to meet the minor child for | 5 | | parenting time visitation , and the petitioner and | 6 | | respondent
parties shall submit to the court their | 7 | | recommendations for reasonable
alternative arrangements | 8 | | for parenting time visitation . A person may be approved to
| 9 | | supervise parenting time visitation only after filing an | 10 | | affidavit accepting
that responsibility and acknowledging | 11 | | accountability to the court.
| 12 | | (8) Removal or concealment of minor child.
Prohibit | 13 | | respondent from
removing a minor child from the State or | 14 | | concealing the child within the
State.
| 15 | | (9) Order to appear. Order the respondent to
appear in | 16 | | court, alone
or with a minor child, to prevent abuse, | 17 | | neglect, removal or concealment of
the child, to return the | 18 | | child to the custody or care of the petitioner , or
to | 19 | | permit any court-ordered interview or examination of the | 20 | | child or the
respondent.
| 21 | | (10) Possession of personal property. Grant petitioner | 22 | | exclusive
possession of personal property and, if | 23 | | respondent has possession or
control, direct respondent to | 24 | | promptly make it available to petitioner, if:
| 25 | | (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the | 26 | | property; or
|
| | | SB0558 Enrolled | - 31 - | LRB100 04867 SLF 14877 b |
|
| 1 | | (ii) the petitioner and respondent parties own the | 2 | | property jointly; sharing it would risk
abuse of | 3 | | petitioner by respondent or is impracticable; and the | 4 | | balance of
hardships favors temporary possession by | 5 | | petitioner.
| 6 | | If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the property | 7 | | is that it is
marital property, the court may award | 8 | | petitioner temporary possession
thereof under the | 9 | | standards of subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph only if
a | 10 | | proper proceeding has been filed under the Illinois | 11 | | Marriage and
Dissolution of Marriage Act, as now or | 12 | | hereafter amended.
| 13 | | No order under this provision shall affect title to | 14 | | property.
| 15 | | (11) Protection of property. Forbid the respondent | 16 | | from taking,
transferring, encumbering, concealing, | 17 | | damaging , or otherwise disposing of
any real or personal | 18 | | property, except as explicitly authorized by the
court, if:
| 19 | | (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the | 20 | | property; or
| 21 | | (ii) the petitioner and respondent parties own the | 22 | | property jointly,
and the balance of hardships favors | 23 | | granting this remedy.
| 24 | | If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the property | 25 | | is that it is
marital property, the court may grant | 26 | | petitioner relief under subparagraph
(ii) of this |
| | | SB0558 Enrolled | - 32 - | LRB100 04867 SLF 14877 b |
|
| 1 | | paragraph only if a proper proceeding has been filed under | 2 | | the
Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as | 3 | | now or hereafter amended.
| 4 | | The court may further prohibit respondent from | 5 | | improperly using the
financial or other resources of an | 6 | | aged member of the family or household
for the profit or | 7 | | advantage of respondent or of any other person.
| 8 | | (11.5) Protection of animals. Grant the petitioner the | 9 | | exclusive care, custody, or control of any animal owned, | 10 | | possessed, leased, kept, or held by either the petitioner | 11 | | or the respondent or a minor child residing in the | 12 | | residence or household of either the petitioner or the | 13 | | respondent and order the respondent to stay away from the | 14 | | animal and forbid the respondent from taking, | 15 | | transferring, encumbering, concealing, harming, or | 16 | | otherwise disposing of the animal.
| 17 | | (12) Order for payment of support. Order
respondent to | 18 | | pay temporary
support for the petitioner or any child in | 19 | | the petitioner's care or over whom the petitioner has been | 20 | | allocated parental responsibility
custody , when the | 21 | | respondent has a legal obligation to support that person,
| 22 | | in accordance with the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution
of | 23 | | Marriage Act, which shall govern, among other matters, the | 24 | | amount of
support, payment through the clerk and | 25 | | withholding of income to secure
payment. An order for child | 26 | | support may be granted to a petitioner with
lawful physical |
| | | SB0558 Enrolled | - 33 - | LRB100 04867 SLF 14877 b |
|
| 1 | | care or custody of a child, or an order or agreement for
| 2 | | physical care of a child or custody , prior to entry of an | 3 | | order allocating significant decision-making | 4 | | responsibility for legal custody .
Such a support order | 5 | | shall expire upon entry of a valid order allocating | 6 | | parental responsibility differently and vacating | 7 | | petitioner's significant decision-making responsibility | 8 | | granting
legal custody to another, unless otherwise | 9 | | provided in the custody order.
| 10 | | (13) Order for payment of losses. Order
respondent to | 11 | | pay petitioner
for losses suffered as a direct result of | 12 | | the abuse. Such losses shall
include, but not be limited | 13 | | to, medical expenses, lost earnings or other
support, | 14 | | repair or replacement of property damaged or taken, | 15 | | reasonable
attorney's fees, court costs , and moving or | 16 | | other travel expenses, including
additional reasonable | 17 | | expenses for temporary shelter and restaurant meals.
| 18 | | (i) Losses affecting family needs. If a party is | 19 | | entitled to seek
maintenance, child support , or | 20 | | property distribution from the other party
under the | 21 | | Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as | 22 | | now or
hereafter amended, the court may order | 23 | | respondent to reimburse petitioner's

or appropriate to prevent further abuse of | 20 | | a family or household member or
to effectuate one of the | 21 | | granted remedies, if supported by the balance of

other harm that one of the remedies listed in | 24 | | paragraphs (1) through (16)
of this subsection is designed | 25 | | to prevent, no further evidence is necessary
to establish | 26 | | that the harm is an irreparable injury.

|
| 1 | | to the petitioner all financial responsibility for | 2 | | and right to the use of any telephone number | 3 | | transferred under this paragraph. | 4 | | (B) A wireless telephone service provider shall | 5 | | terminate the respondent's use of, and shall transfer | 6 | | to the petitioner use of, the telephone number or | 7 | | numbers indicated in subparagraph (A) of this | 8 | | paragraph unless it notifies the petitioner, within 72 | 9 | | hours after it receives the order, that one of the | 10 | | following applies: | 11 | | (i) The account holder named in the order has | 12 | | terminated the account. | 13 | | (ii) A difference in network technology would | 14 | | prevent or impair the functionality of a device on | 15 | | a network if the transfer occurs. | 16 | | (iii) The transfer would cause a geographic or | 17 | | other limitation on network or service provision | 18 | | to the petitioner. | 19 | | (iv) Another technological or operational | 20 | | issue would prevent or impair the use of the | 21 | | telephone number if the transfer occurs. | 22 | | (C) The petitioner assumes all financial | 23 | | responsibility for and right to the use of any | 24 | | telephone number transferred under this paragraph. In | 25 | | this paragraph, "financial responsibility" includes | 26 | | monthly service costs and costs associated with any |

| 8 | | (E) Except for willful or wanton misconduct, a | 9 | | wireless telephone service provider is immune from | 10 | | civil liability for its actions taken in compliance | 11 | | with a court order issued under this paragraph. | 12 | | (F) All wireless service providers that provide | 13 | | services to residential customers shall provide to the | 14 | | Illinois Commerce Commission the name and address of an | 15 | | agent for service of orders entered under this | 16 | | paragraph (18). Any change in status of the registered | 17 | | agent must be reported to the Illinois Commerce | 18 | | Commission within 30 days of such change. | 19 | | (G) The Illinois Commerce Commission shall | 20 | | maintain the list of registered agents for service for | 21 | | each wireless telephone service provider on the | 22 | | Commission's website. The Commission may consult with | 23 | | wireless telephone service providers and the Circuit | 24 | | Court Clerks on the manner in which this information is | 25 | | provided and displayed. | 26 | | (c) Relevant factors; findings.

|
| 1 | | (1) In determining whether to grant a
specific remedy, | 2 | | other than payment of support, the
court shall consider | 3 | | relevant factors, including , but not limited to , the
| 4 | | following:
| 5 | | (i) the nature, frequency, severity, pattern , and | 6 | | consequences of the
respondent's past abuse of the | 7 | | petitioner or any family or household
member, | 8 | | including the concealment of his or her location in | 9 | | order to evade
service of process or notice, and the | 10 | | likelihood of danger of future abuse to
petitioner or
| 11 | | any member of petitioner's or respondent's family or | 12 | | household; and
| 13 | | (ii) the danger that any minor child will be abused | 14 | | or neglected or
improperly relocated removed from the | 15 | | jurisdiction, improperly concealed within the
State or | 16 | | improperly separated from the child's primary | 17 | | caretaker.
| 18 | | (2) In comparing relative hardships resulting to the | 19 | | parties from loss
of possession of the family home, the | 20 | | court shall consider relevant
factors, including , but not | 21 | | limited to , the following:
| 22 | | (i) availability, accessibility, cost, safety, | 23 | | adequacy, location and other
characteristics of | 24 | | alternate housing for each party and any minor child or
| 25 | | dependent adult in the party's care;
| 26 | | (ii) the effect on the party's employment; and
|
| | | SB0558 Enrolled | - 41 - | LRB100 04867 SLF 14877 b |
|
| 1 | | (iii) the effect on the relationship of the party, | 2 | | and any minor
child or dependent adult in the party's | 3 | | care, to family, school, church ,
and community.
| 4 | | (3) Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph | 5 | | (4) of this
subsection (c) , the court shall make its | 6 | | findings in an official record or in
writing, and shall at | 7 | | a minimum set forth the following:
| 8 | | (i) That the court has considered the applicable | 9 | | relevant factors
described in paragraphs (1) and (2) of | 10 | | this subsection (c) .
| 11 | | (ii) Whether the conduct or actions of respondent, | 12 | | unless
prohibited, will likely cause irreparable harm | 13 | | or continued abuse.
| 14 | | (iii) Whether it is necessary to grant the | 15 | | requested relief in order
to protect petitioner or | 16 | | other alleged abused persons.
| 17 | | (4) (Blank).
| 18 | | (5) Never married parties. No rights or | 19 | | responsibilities for a minor
child born outside of marriage | 20 | | attach to a putative father until a father and
child | 21 | | relationship has been established under the Illinois | 22 | | Parentage Act of
1984 , or under the Illinois Parentage Act | 23 | | of 2015 , the Illinois Public Aid Code, Section 12 of the | 24 | | Vital Records Act, the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, the | 25 | | Probate Act of 1975, the Uniform Interstate Family Support | 26 | | Act, the Expedited Child Support Act of 1990, any judicial, |

|
| 1 | | administrative, or other act of another state or territory, | 2 | | any other statute of this State, or by any foreign nation | 3 | | establishing the father and child relationship, any other | 4 | | proceeding substantially in conformity with the federal | 5 | | Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity | 6 | | Reconciliation Act of 1996, or when both parties appeared | 7 | | in open court or at an administrative hearing acknowledging | 8 | | under oath or admitting by affirmation the existence of a | 9 | | father and child relationship on and after the effective | 10 | | date of that Act . Absent such an adjudication, no putative | 11 | | father shall be granted
temporary allocation of parental | 12 | | responsibilities, including parenting time custody of the | 13 | | minor child, visitation with the minor child, or
physical | 14 | | care
and possession of the minor child, nor shall
an order | 15 | | of payment for support of the minor child be entered.
| 16 | | (d) Balance of hardships; findings. If the court finds that | 17 | | the balance
of hardships does not support the granting of a | 18 | | remedy governed by
paragraph (2), (3), (10), (11), or (16) of
| 19 | | subsection (b) of this Section,
which may require such | 20 | | balancing, the court's findings shall so
indicate and shall | 21 | | include a finding as to whether granting the remedy will
result | 22 | | in hardship to respondent that would substantially outweigh the | 23 | | hardship
to petitioner
from denial of the remedy. The findings | 24 | | shall be an official record or in
writing.
| 25 | | (e) Denial of remedies. Denial of any remedy shall not be | 26 | | based, in
whole or in part, on evidence that:

parties had not been | 19 | | family or household members.

If the judge finds that | 19 | | petitioner has satisfied the prerequisites in subsection (b), | 20 | | (c), or (d) of this Section, the judge shall issue an ex parte | 21 | | protective order. | 22 | | The chief judge of the circuit court may designate for each | 23 | | county in the circuit at least one judge to be reasonably | 24 | | available to issue orally, by telephone, by facsimile, or | 25 | | otherwise, an ex parte protective order at all times, whether | 26 | | or not the court is in session. |

Special process servers may be appointed | 21 | | at any time, and their designation shall not affect the | 22 | | responsibilities and authority of the sheriff or other | 23 | | official process servers. In a county with a population | 24 | | over 3,000,000, a special process server may not be | 25 | | appointed if an ex parte protective order grants the | 26 | | surrender of a child, the surrender of a firearm or Firearm |

|
| 1 | | Owner's Identification Card, or the exclusive possession | 2 | | of a shared residence. Process may be served in court. | 3 | | (g) Upon 7 days' notice to the petitioner, or a shorter | 4 | | notice period as the court may prescribe, a respondent subject | 5 | | to an ex parte protective order may appear and petition the | 6 | | court to re-hear the petition. Any petition to re-hear shall be | 7 | | verified and shall allege the following: | 8 | | (1) that respondent did not receive prior notice of the | 9 | | initial hearing in which the ex parte protective order was | 10 | | entered under Section 112A-17.5 of this Code; and | 11 | | (2) that respondent had a meritorious defense to the | 12 | | order or any of its remedies or that the order or any of | 13 | | its remedies was not authorized under this Article. | 14 | | The verified petition and affidavit shall set forth the | 15 | | evidence of the meritorious defense that will be presented at a | 16 | | hearing. If the court finds that the evidence presented at the | 17 | | hearing on the petition establishes a meritorious defense by a | 18 | | preponderance of the evidence, the court may decide to vacate | 19 | | the protective order or modify the remedies. | 20 | | (h) If the ex parte protective order granted petitioner | 21 | | exclusive possession of the residence and the petition of | 22 | | respondent seeks to re-open or vacate that grant, the court | 23 | | shall set a date for hearing within 14 days on all issues | 24 | | relating to exclusive possession. Under no circumstances shall | 25 | | a court continue a hearing concerning exclusive possession | 26 | | beyond the 14th day except by agreement of the petitioner and |
| | | SB0558 Enrolled | - 52 - | LRB100 04867 SLF 14877 b |
|
| 1 | | the respondent. Other issues raised by the pleadings may be | 2 | | consolidated for the hearing if the petitioner, the respondent, | 3 | | and the court do not object. | 4 | | (i) Duration of ex parte protective order. An ex parte | 5 | | order shall remain in effect until the court considers the | 6 | | request for a final protective order after notice has been | 7 | | served on the respondent or a default final protective order is | 8 | | entered, whichever occurs first. If a court date is scheduled | 9 | | for the issuance of a default protective order and the | 10 | | petitioner fails to personally appear or appear through counsel | 11 | | or the prosecuting attorney, the petition shall be dismissed | 12 | | and the ex parte order terminated.

| 14 | | Sec. 112A-20. Duration and extension of final protective | 15 | | orders.
| 16 | | (a) (Blank).
| 17 | | (b) A final protective order shall remain in effect as | 18 | | follows:
| 19 | | (1) if entered during pre-trial release, until | 20 | | disposition, withdrawal,
or dismissal of the underlying | 21 | | charge; if, however, the case is continued as an
| 22 | | independent cause of action, the order's duration may be | 23 | | for a fixed period
of time not to exceed 2 years;
| 24 | | (2) if in effect in conjunction with a bond forfeiture | 25 | | warrant, until
final disposition or an additional period
of |
| | | SB0558 Enrolled | - 53 - | LRB100 04867 SLF 14877 b |
|
| 1 | | time not
exceeding 2 years; no domestic violence order of
| 2 | | protection, however, shall be terminated by a dismissal | 3 | | that is accompanied
by the issuance of a bond forfeiture | 4 | | warrant;
| 5 | | (3) until 2 years after the expiration of any | 6 | | supervision, conditional discharge,
probation, periodic | 7 | | imprisonment, parole, aftercare release, or mandatory | 8 | | supervised release for domestic violence orders of | 9 | | protection and civil no contact orders; or
| 10 | | (4) until 2 years after the date set by the court for | 11 | | expiration of any sentence of
imprisonment and subsequent | 12 | | parole, aftercare release, or mandatory supervised release
| 13 | | for domestic violence orders of protection and civil no | 14 | | contact orders; and
| 15 | | (5) permanent for a stalking no contact order if a | 16 | | judgment of conviction for stalking is entered. | 17 | | (c) Computation of time. The duration of a domestic | 18 | | violence an order of protection shall
not be reduced by the | 19 | | duration of any prior domestic violence order of protection.
| 20 | | (d) Law enforcement records. When a protective order | 21 | | expires
upon the occurrence of a specified event, rather than | 22 | | upon a specified date
as provided in subsection (b), no | 23 | | expiration date shall be entered in
Department of State Police | 24 | | records. To remove the protective order from
those records, | 25 | | either the petitioner or the respondent shall request the clerk | 26 | | of the court to file a
certified copy of an order stating that |
| | | SB0558 Enrolled | - 54 - | LRB100 04867 SLF 14877 b |
|
| 1 | | the specified event has occurred or
that the protective order | 2 | | has been vacated or modified with the sheriff, and the
sheriff | 3 | | shall direct that law enforcement records shall be promptly
| 4 | | corrected in accordance with the filed order.
| 5 | | (e) Extension of Orders. Any domestic violence order of
| 6 | | protection or civil no contact order that expires 2 years after | 7 | | the expiration of the defendant's sentence under paragraph (2), | 8 | | (3), or (4) of subsection (b) of Section 112A-20 of this | 9 | | Article may be extended one or more times, as required. The | 10 | | petitioner , petitioner's counsel, or the State's Attorney on | 11 | | the petitioner's behalf shall file the motion for an extension | 12 | | of the final protective order in the criminal case and serve | 13 | | the motion in accordance with Supreme Court Rules 11 and 12. | 14 | | The court shall transfer the motion to the appropriate court or | 15 | | division for consideration under subsection (e) of Section 220 | 16 | | of the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986 , or subsection | 17 | | (c) of Section 216 of the Civil No Contact Order Act, or | 18 | | subsection (c) of Section 105 of the Stalking No Contact Order | 19 | | as appropriate.
| 20 | | (f) Termination date. Any final protective order of | 21 | | protection which would expire on a
court holiday shall instead | 22 | | expire at the close of the next court business day.
| 23 | | (g) Statement of purpose. The practice of dismissing or | 24 | | suspending a
criminal prosecution in exchange for issuing a | 25 | | protective an order of protection
undermines the purposes of | 26 | | this Article. This Section shall not be
construed as |
| | | SB0558 Enrolled | - 55 - | LRB100 04867 SLF 14877 b |
