An Illinois order of protection can provide important legal protections when domestic violence, threats, harassment, or stalking are involved during a divorce.
Depending on the circumstances, a court may restrict contact, establish boundaries, address temporary parenting arrangements, or grant exclusive possession of a residence. Violating certain provisions
can also result in criminal or contempt proceedings.
However, an order of protection does not permanently decide your divorce or guarantee that every issue involving your home, children, or property has been resolved.
If you are dealing with domestic violence during a divorce, understanding your legal options is an important first step.
