2 (725 ILCS 5/112A-14) (from Ch. 38, par. 112A-14)
3 Sec. 112A-14. Order of protection; remedies.
4 (a) Issuance of order. If the court finds that petitioner
5has been abused by a family or household member, as defined in
6this Article, an order of protection prohibiting such abuse
7shall issue; provided that petitioner must also satisfy the
8requirements of one of the following Sections, as appropriate:
9Section 112A-17 on emergency orders, Section 112A-18 on interim
10orders, or Section 112A-19 on plenary orders. Petitioner shall
11not be denied an order of protection because petitioner or
12respondent is a minor. The court, when determining whether or
13not to issue an order of protection, shall not require physical
14manifestations of abuse on the person of the victim.
15Modification and extension of prior orders of protection shall
16be in accordance with this Article.
17 (b) Remedies and standards. The remedies to be included in
18an order of protection shall be determined in accordance with
19this Section and one of the following Sections, as appropriate:
20Section 112A-17 on emergency orders, Section 112A-18 on interim
21orders, and Section 112A-19 on plenary orders. The remedies
22listed in this subsection shall be in addition to other civil
23or criminal remedies available to petitioner.
24 (1) Prohibition of abuse. Prohibit respondent's
25 harassment, interference with personal liberty,

09800HB0183sam005- 144 -LRB098 05760 MRW 46754 a
1 intimidation of a dependent, physical abuse or willful
2 deprivation, as defined in this Article, if such abuse has
3 occurred or otherwise appears likely to occur if not
4 prohibited.
5 (2) Grant of exclusive possession of residence.
6 Prohibit respondent from entering or remaining in any
7 residence, household, or premises of the petitioner,
8 including one owned or leased by respondent, if petitioner
9 has a right to occupancy thereof. The grant of exclusive
10 possession of the residence, household, or premises shall
11 not affect title to real property, nor shall the court be
12 limited by the standard set forth in Section 701 of the
13 Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act.
14 (A) Right to occupancy. A party has a right to
15 occupancy of a residence or household if it is solely
16 or jointly owned or leased by that party, that party's
17 spouse, a person with a legal duty to support that
18 party or a minor child in that party's care, or by any
19 person or entity other than the opposing party that
20 authorizes that party's occupancy (e.g., a domestic
21 violence shelter). Standards set forth in subparagraph
22 (B) shall not preclude equitable relief.
23 (B) Presumption of hardships. If petitioner and
24 respondent each has the right to occupancy of a
25 residence or household, the court shall balance (i) the
26 hardships to respondent and any minor child or

09800HB0183sam005- 145 -LRB098 05760 MRW 46754 a
1 dependent adult in respondent's care resulting from
2 entry of this remedy with (ii) the hardships to
3 petitioner and any minor child or dependent adult in
4 petitioner's care resulting from continued exposure to
5 the risk of abuse (should petitioner remain at the
6 residence or household) or from loss of possession of
7 the residence or household (should petitioner leave to
8 avoid the risk of abuse). When determining the balance
9 of hardships, the court shall also take into account
10 the accessibility of the residence or household.
11 Hardships need not be balanced if respondent does not
12 have a right to occupancy.
13 The balance of hardships is presumed to favor
14 possession by petitioner unless the presumption is
15 rebutted by a preponderance of the evidence, showing
16 that the hardships to respondent substantially
17 outweigh the hardships to petitioner and any minor
18 child or dependent adult in petitioner's care. The
19 court, on the request of petitioner or on its own
20 motion, may order respondent to provide suitable,
21 accessible, alternate housing for petitioner instead
22 of excluding respondent from a mutual residence or
23 household.
24 (3) Stay away order and additional prohibitions. Order
25 respondent to stay away from petitioner or any other person
26 protected by the order of protection, or prohibit

09800HB0183sam005- 146 -LRB098 05760 MRW 46754 a
1 respondent from entering or remaining present at
2 petitioner's school, place of employment, or other
3 specified places at times when petitioner is present, or
4 both, if reasonable, given the balance of hardships.
5 Hardships need not be balanced for the court to enter a
6 stay away order or prohibit entry if respondent has no
7 right to enter the premises.
8 If an order of protection grants petitioner exclusive
9 possession of the residence, or prohibits respondent from
10 entering the residence, or orders respondent to stay away
11 from petitioner or other protected persons, then the court
12 may allow respondent access to the residence to remove
13 items of clothing and personal adornment used exclusively
14 by respondent, medications, and other items as the court
15 directs. The right to access shall be exercised on only one
16 occasion as the court directs and in the presence of an
17 agreed-upon adult third party or law enforcement officer.
18 (4) Counseling. Require or recommend the respondent to
19 undergo counseling for a specified duration with a social
20 worker, psychologist, clinical psychologist, psychiatrist,
21 family service agency, alcohol or substance abuse program,
22 mental health center guidance counselor, agency providing
23 services to elders, program designed for domestic violence
24 abusers or any other guidance service the court deems
25 appropriate. The court may order the respondent in any
26 intimate partner relationship to report to an Illinois

09800HB0183sam005- 147 -LRB098 05760 MRW 46754 a
1 Department of Human Services protocol approved partner
2 abuse intervention program for an assessment and to follow
3 all recommended treatment.
4 (5) Physical care and possession of the minor child. In
5 order to protect the minor child from abuse, neglect, or
6 unwarranted separation from the person who has been the
7 minor child's primary caretaker, or to otherwise protect
8 the well-being of the minor child, the court may do either
9 or both of the following: (i) grant petitioner physical
10 care or possession of the minor child, or both, or (ii)
11 order respondent to return a minor child to, or not remove
12 a minor child from, the physical care of a parent or person
13 in loco parentis.
14 If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has
15 committed abuse (as defined in Section 112A-3) of a minor
16 child, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that
17 awarding physical care to respondent would not be in the
18 minor child's best interest.
19 (6) Temporary legal custody. Award temporary legal
20 custody to petitioner in accordance with this Section, the
21 Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, the
22 Illinois Parentage Act of 1984, and this State's Uniform
23 Child-Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act.
24 If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has
25 committed abuse (as defined in Section 112A-3) of a minor
26 child, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that

09800HB0183sam005- 148 -LRB098 05760 MRW 46754 a
1 awarding temporary legal custody to respondent would not be
2 in the child's best interest.
3 (7) Visitation. Determine the visitation rights, if
4 any, of respondent in any case in which the court awards
5 physical care or temporary legal custody of a minor child
6 to petitioner. The court shall restrict or deny
7 respondent's visitation with a minor child if the court
8 finds that respondent has done or is likely to do any of
9 the following: (i) abuse or endanger the minor child during
10 visitation; (ii) use the visitation as an opportunity to
11 abuse or harass petitioner or petitioner's family or
12 household members; (iii) improperly conceal or detain the
13 minor child; or (iv) otherwise act in a manner that is not
14 in the best interests of the minor child. The court shall
15 not be limited by the standards set forth in Section 607.1
16 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act.
17 If the court grants visitation, the order shall specify
18 dates and times for the visitation to take place or other
19 specific parameters or conditions that are appropriate. No
20 order for visitation shall refer merely to the term
21 "reasonable visitation".
22 Petitioner may deny respondent access to the minor
23 child if, when respondent arrives for visitation,
24 respondent is under the influence of drugs or alcohol and
25 constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being of
26 petitioner or petitioner's minor children or is behaving in

09800HB0183sam005- 149 -LRB098 05760 MRW 46754 a
1 a violent or abusive manner.
2 If necessary to protect any member of petitioner's
3 family or household from future abuse, respondent shall be
4 prohibited from coming to petitioner's residence to meet
5 the minor child for visitation, and the parties shall
6 submit to the court their recommendations for reasonable
7 alternative arrangements for visitation. A person may be
8 approved to supervise visitation only after filing an
9 affidavit accepting that responsibility and acknowledging
10 accountability to the court.
11 (8) Removal or concealment of minor child. Prohibit
12 respondent from removing a minor child from the State or
13 concealing the child within the State.
14 (9) Order to appear. Order the respondent to appear in
15 court, alone or with a minor child, to prevent abuse,
16 neglect, removal or concealment of the child, to return the
17 child to the custody or care of the petitioner or to permit
18 any court-ordered interview or examination of the child or
19 the respondent.
20 (10) Possession of personal property. Grant petitioner
21 exclusive possession of personal property and, if
22 respondent has possession or control, direct respondent to
23 promptly make it available to petitioner, if:
24 (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the
25 property; or
26 (ii) the parties own the property jointly; sharing

09800HB0183sam005- 150 -LRB098 05760 MRW 46754 a
1 it would risk abuse of petitioner by respondent or is
2 impracticable; and the balance of hardships favors
3 temporary possession by petitioner.
4 If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the property
5 is that it is marital property, the court may award
6 petitioner temporary possession thereof under the
7 standards of subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph only if a
8 proper proceeding has been filed under the Illinois
9 Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as now or
10 hereafter amended.
11 No order under this provision shall affect title to
12 property.
13 (11) Protection of property. Forbid the respondent
14 from taking, transferring, encumbering, concealing,
15 damaging or otherwise disposing of any real or personal
16 property, except as explicitly authorized by the court, if:
17 (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the
18 property; or
19 (ii) the parties own the property jointly, and the
20 balance of hardships favors granting this remedy.
21 If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the property
22 is that it is marital property, the court may grant
23 petitioner relief under subparagraph (ii) of this
24 paragraph only if a proper proceeding has been filed under
25 the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as
26 now or hereafter amended.

09800HB0183sam005- 151 -LRB098 05760 MRW 46754 a
1 The court may further prohibit respondent from
2 improperly using the financial or other resources of an
3 aged member of the family or household for the profit or
4 advantage of respondent or of any other person.
5 (11.5) Protection of animals. Grant the petitioner the
6 exclusive care, custody, or control of any animal owned,
7 possessed, leased, kept, or held by either the petitioner
8 or the respondent or a minor child residing in the
9 residence or household of either the petitioner or the
10 respondent and order the respondent to stay away from the
11 animal and forbid the respondent from taking,
12 transferring, encumbering, concealing, harming, or
13 otherwise disposing of the animal.
14 (12) Order for payment of support. Order respondent to
15 pay temporary support for the petitioner or any child in
16 the petitioner's care or custody, when the respondent has a
17 legal obligation to support that person, in accordance with
18 the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act,
19 which shall govern, among other matters, the amount of
20 support, payment through the clerk and withholding of
21 income to secure payment. An order for child support may be
22 granted to a petitioner with lawful physical care or
23 custody of a child, or an order or agreement for physical
24 care or custody, prior to entry of an order for legal
25 custody. Such a support order shall expire upon entry of a
26 valid order granting legal custody to another, unless

09800HB0183sam005- 152 -LRB098 05760 MRW 46754 a
1 otherwise provided in the custody order.
2 (13) Order for payment of losses. Order respondent to
3 pay petitioner for losses suffered as a direct result of
4 the abuse. Such losses shall include, but not be limited
5 to, medical expenses, lost earnings or other support,
6 repair or replacement of property damaged or taken,
7 reasonable attorney's fees, court costs and moving or other
8 travel expenses, including additional reasonable expenses
9 for temporary shelter and restaurant meals.
10 (i) Losses affecting family needs. If a party is
11 entitled to seek maintenance, child support or
12 property distribution from the other party under the
13 Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as
14 now or hereafter amended, the court may order
15 respondent to reimburse petitioner's actual losses, to
16 the extent that such reimbursement would be
17 "appropriate temporary relief", as authorized by
18 subsection (a)(3) of Section 501 of that Act.
19 (ii) Recovery of expenses. In the case of an
20 improper concealment or removal of a minor child, the
21 court may order respondent to pay the reasonable
22 expenses incurred or to be incurred in the search for
23 and recovery of the minor child, including but not
24 limited to legal fees, court costs, private
25 investigator fees, and travel costs.
26 (14) Prohibition of entry. Prohibit the respondent

09800HB0183sam005- 153 -LRB098 05760 MRW 46754 a

3 drugs and constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being
4 of the petitioner or the petitioner's children.
5 (14.5) Prohibition of firearm possession.
6 (A) A person who is subject to an existing order of
7 protection, interim order of protection, emergency
8 order of protection, or plenary order of protection,
9 issued under this Code may not lawfully possess weapons
10 under Section 8.2 of the Firearm Owners Identification
11 Card Act. (a) Prohibit a respondent against whom an
12 order of protection was issued from possessing any
13 firearms during the duration of the order if the order:
14 (1) was issued after a hearing of which such
15 person received actual notice, and at which such
16 person had an opportunity to participate;
17 (2) restrains such person from harassing,
18 stalking, or threatening an intimate partner of
19 such person or child of such intimate partner or
20 person, or engaging in other conduct that would
21 place an intimate partner in reasonable fear of
22 bodily injury to the partner or child; and
23 (3)(i) includes a finding that such person
24 represents a credible threat to the physical
25 safety of such intimate partner or child; or (ii)
26 by its terms explicitly prohibits the use,

09800HB0183sam005- 154 -LRB098 05760 MRW 46754 a
1 attempted use, or threatened use of physical force
2 against such intimate partner or child that would
3 reasonably be expected to cause bodily injury.
4 (B) Any firearms in the possession of the respondent,
5 except as provided in subparagraph (C) of this
6 paragraph (14.5) subsection (b), shall be ordered by
7 the court to be turned over to a person with a valid
8 Firearm Owner's Identification Card the local law
9 enforcement agency for safekeeping. The court shall
10 issue an order that the respondent's Firearm Owner's
11 Identification Card be turned over to the local law
12 enforcement agency, which in turn shall immediately
13 mail the card to the Department of State Police Firearm
14 Owner's Identification Card Office for safekeeping.
15 The period of safekeeping shall be for the duration of
16 the order of protection. The firearm or firearms and
17 Firearm Owner's Identification Card, if unexpired,
18 shall at the respondent's request be returned to the
19 respondent at expiration of the order of protection.
20 (C) (b) If the respondent is a peace officer as
21 defined in Section 2-13 of the Criminal Code of 2012,
22 the court shall order that any firearms used by the
23 respondent in the performance of his or her duties as a
24 peace officer be surrendered to the chief law
25 enforcement executive of the agency in which the
26 respondent is employed, who shall retain the firearms

09800HB0183sam005- 155 -LRB098 05760 MRW 46754 a
1 for safekeeping for the duration of the order of
2 protection.
3 (D) (c) Upon expiration of the period of
4 safekeeping, if the firearms or Firearm Owner's
5 Identification Card cannot be returned to respondent
6 because respondent cannot be located, fails to respond
7 to requests to retrieve the firearms, or is not
8 lawfully eligible to possess a firearm, upon petition
9 from the local law enforcement agency, the court may
10 order the local law enforcement agency to destroy the
11 firearms, use the firearms for training purposes, or
12 for any other application as deemed appropriate by the
13 local law enforcement agency; or that the firearms be
14 turned over to a third party who is lawfully eligible
15 to possess firearms, and who does not reside with
16 respondent.
17 (15) Prohibition of access to records. If an order of
18 protection prohibits respondent from having contact with
19 the minor child, or if petitioner's address is omitted
20 under subsection (b) of Section 112A-5, or if necessary to
21 prevent abuse or wrongful removal or concealment of a minor
22 child, the order shall deny respondent access to, and
23 prohibit respondent from inspecting, obtaining, or
24 attempting to inspect or obtain, school or any other
25 records of the minor child who is in the care of
26 petitioner.

09800HB0183sam005- 156 -LRB098 05760 MRW 46754 a
1 (16) Order for payment of shelter services. Order
2 respondent to reimburse a shelter providing temporary
3 housing and counseling services to the petitioner for the
4 cost of the services, as certified by the shelter and
5 deemed reasonable by the court.
6 (17) Order for injunctive relief. Enter injunctive
7 relief necessary or appropriate to prevent further abuse of
8 a family or household member or to effectuate one of the
9 granted remedies, if supported by the balance of hardships.
10 If the harm to be prevented by the injunction is abuse or
11 any other harm that one of the remedies listed in
12 paragraphs (1) through (16) of this subsection is designed
13 to prevent, no further evidence is necessary to establish
14 that the harm is an irreparable injury.
15 (c) Relevant factors; findings.
16 (1) In determining whether to grant a specific remedy,
17 other than payment of support, the court shall consider
18 relevant factors, including but not limited to the
19 following:
20 (i) the nature, frequency, severity, pattern and
21 consequences of the respondent's past abuse of the
22 petitioner or any family or household member,
23 including the concealment of his or her location in
24 order to evade service of process or notice, and the
25 likelihood of danger of future abuse to petitioner or
26 any member of petitioner's or respondent's family or

09800HB0183sam005- 157 -LRB098 05760 MRW 46754 a
1 household; and
2 (ii) the danger that any minor child will be abused
3 or neglected or improperly removed from the
4 jurisdiction, improperly concealed within the State or
5 improperly separated from the child's primary
6 caretaker.
7 (2) In comparing relative hardships resulting to the
8 parties from loss of possession of the family home, the
9 court shall consider relevant factors, including but not
10 limited to the following:
11 (i) availability, accessibility, cost, safety,
12 adequacy, location and other characteristics of
13 alternate housing for each party and any minor child or
14 dependent adult in the party's care;
15 (ii) the effect on the party's employment; and
16 (iii) the effect on the relationship of the party,
17 and any minor child or dependent adult in the party's
18 care, to family, school, church and community.
19 (3) Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph
20 (4) of this subsection, the court shall make its findings
21 in an official record or in writing, and shall at a minimum
22 set forth the following:
23 (i) That the court has considered the applicable
24 relevant factors described in paragraphs (1) and (2) of
25 this subsection.
26 (ii) Whether the conduct or actions of respondent,

09800HB0183sam005- 158 -LRB098 05760 MRW 46754 a
1 unless prohibited, will likely cause irreparable harm
2 or continued abuse.
3 (iii) Whether it is necessary to grant the
4 requested relief in order to protect petitioner or
5 other alleged abused persons.
6 (4) For purposes of issuing an ex parte emergency order
7 of protection, the court, as an alternative to or as a
8 supplement to making the findings described in paragraphs
9 (c)(3)(i) through (c)(3)(iii) of this subsection, may use
10 the following procedure:
11 When a verified petition for an emergency order of
12 protection in accordance with the requirements of Sections
13 112A-5 and 112A-17 is presented to the court, the court
14 shall examine petitioner on oath or affirmation. An
15 emergency order of protection shall be issued by the court
16 if it appears from the contents of the petition and the
17 examination of petitioner that the averments are
18 sufficient to indicate abuse by respondent and to support
19 the granting of relief under the issuance of the emergency
20 order of protection.
21 (5) Never married parties. No rights or
22 responsibilities for a minor child born outside of marriage
23 attach to a putative father until a father and child
24 relationship has been established under the Illinois
25 Parentage Act of 1984. Absent such an adjudication, no
26 putative father shall be granted temporary custody of the

09800HB0183sam005- 159 -LRB098 05760 MRW 46754 a
1 minor child, visitation with the minor child, or physical
2 care and possession of the minor child, nor shall an order
3 of payment for support of the minor child be entered.
4 (d) Balance of hardships; findings. If the court finds that
5the balance of hardships does not support the granting of a
6remedy governed by paragraph (2), (3), (10), (11), or (16) of
7subsection (b) of this Section, which may require such
8balancing, the court's findings shall so indicate and shall
9include a finding as to whether granting the remedy will result
10in hardship to respondent that would substantially outweigh the
11hardship to petitioner from denial of the remedy. The findings
12shall be an official record or in writing.
13 (e) Denial of remedies. Denial of any remedy shall not be
14based, in whole or in part, on evidence that:
15 (1) Respondent has cause for any use of force, unless
16 that cause satisfies the standards for justifiable use of
17 force provided by Article 7 of the Criminal Code of 2012;
18 (2) Respondent was voluntarily intoxicated;
19 (3) Petitioner acted in self-defense or defense of
20 another, provided that, if petitioner utilized force, such
21 force was justifiable under Article 7 of the Criminal Code
22 of 2012;
23 (4) Petitioner did not act in self-defense or defense
24 of another;
25 (5) Petitioner left the residence or household to avoid
26 further abuse by respondent;

09800HB0183sam005- 160 -LRB098 05760 MRW 46754 a
1 (6) Petitioner did not leave the residence or household
2 to avoid further abuse by respondent;
3 (7) Conduct by any family or household member excused
4 the abuse by respondent, unless that same conduct would
5 have excused such abuse if the parties had not been family
6 or household members.
