09800HB0183sam001- 160 -LRB098 05760 JWD 46006 a

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

 

 

09800HB0183sam001- 161 -LRB098 05760 JWD 46006 a

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

 

 

09800HB0183sam001- 162 -LRB098 05760 JWD 46006 a

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

 

 

09800HB0183sam001- 163 -LRB098 05760 JWD 46006 a

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

 

 

09800HB0183sam001- 164 -LRB098 05760 JWD 46006 a

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

 

 

09800HB0183sam001- 165 -LRB098 05760 JWD 46006 a

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

 

 

09800HB0183sam001- 166 -LRB098 05760 JWD 46006 a

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

 

 

09800HB0183sam001- 167 -LRB098 05760 JWD 46006 a

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

 

 

09800HB0183sam001- 168 -LRB098 05760 JWD 46006 a

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

 

 

09800HB0183sam001- 169 -LRB098 05760 JWD 46006 a

1    pay petitioner for losses suffered as a direct result of
2    the abuse. Such losses shall include, but not be limited
3    to, medical expenses, lost earnings or other support,
4    repair or replacement of property damaged or taken,
5    reasonable attorney's fees, court costs and moving or other
6    travel expenses, including additional reasonable expenses
7    for temporary shelter and restaurant meals.

9        entitled to seek maintenance, child support or
10        property distribution from the other party under the
11        Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as
12        now or hereafter amended, the court may order
13        respondent to reimburse petitioner's actual losses, to
14        the extent that such reimbursement would be
15        "appropriate temporary relief", as authorized by
16        subsection (a)(3) of Section 501 of that Act.
17            (ii) Recovery of expenses. In the case of an
18        improper concealment or removal of a minor child, the

20        expenses incurred or to be incurred in the search for
21        and recovery of the minor child, including but not
22        limited to legal fees, court costs, private
23        investigator fees, and travel costs.
24        (14) Prohibition of entry. Prohibit the respondent
25    from entering or remaining in the residence or household
26    while the respondent is under the influence of alcohol or

9        Card Act. (a) Prohibit a respondent against whom an

12                (1) was issued after a hearing of which such
13            person received actual notice, and at which such

4        (17) Order for injunctive relief. Enter injunctive
5    relief necessary or appropriate to prevent further abuse of
6    a family or household member or to effectuate one of the
7    granted remedies, if supported by the balance of hardships.
8    If the harm to be prevented by the injunction is abuse or
9    any other harm that one of the remedies listed in
10    paragraphs (1) through (16) of this subsection is designed
11    to prevent, no further evidence is necessary to establish
12    that the harm is an irreparable injury.
13    (c) Relevant factors; findings.
14        (1) In determining whether to grant a specific remedy,
15    other than payment of support, the court shall consider

18            (i) the nature, frequency, severity, pattern and
19        consequences of the respondent's past abuse of the
20        petitioner or any family or household member,

22        order to evade service of process or notice, and the
23        likelihood of danger of future abuse to petitioner or
24        any member of petitioner's or respondent's family or
25        household; and
26            (ii) the danger that any minor child will be abused

 

 

09800HB0183sam001- 174 -LRB098 05760 JWD 46006 a

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

 

 

09800HB0183sam001- 175 -LRB098 05760 JWD 46006 a

1            (iii) Whether it is necessary to grant the
2        requested relief in order to protect petitioner or
3        other alleged abused persons.
4        (4) For purposes of issuing an ex parte emergency order
5    of protection, the court, as an alternative to or as a
6    supplement to making the findings described in paragraphs
7    (c)(3)(i) through (c)(3)(iii) of this subsection, may use
8    the following procedure:
9        When a verified petition for an emergency order of
10    protection in accordance with the requirements of Sections
11    112A-5 and 112A-17 is presented to the court, the court
12    shall examine petitioner on oath or affirmation. An
13    emergency order of protection shall be issued by the court
14    if it appears from the contents of the petition and the
15    examination of petitioner that the averments are
16    sufficient to indicate abuse by respondent and to support
17    the granting of relief under the issuance of the emergency
18    order of protection.
19        (5) Never married parties. No rights or
20    responsibilities for a minor child born outside of marriage
21    attach to a putative father until a father and child
22    relationship has been established under the Illinois
23    Parentage Act of 1984. Absent such an adjudication, no
24    putative father shall be granted temporary custody of the
25    minor child, visitation with the minor child, or physical
26    care and possession of the minor child, nor shall an order

 

 

09800HB0183sam001- 176 -LRB098 05760 JWD 46006 a

1    of payment for support of the minor child be entered.
2    (d) Balance of hardships; findings. If the court finds that
3the balance of hardships does not support the granting of a
4remedy governed by paragraph (2), (3), (10), (11), or (16) of
5subsection (b) of this Section, which may require such
6balancing, the court's findings shall so indicate and shall
7include a finding as to whether granting the remedy will result
8in hardship to respondent that would substantially outweigh the
9hardship to petitioner from denial of the remedy. The findings
10shall be an official record or in writing.
11    (e) Denial of remedies. Denial of any remedy shall not be
12based, in whole or in part, on evidence that:
13        (1) Respondent has cause for any use of force, unless
14    that cause satisfies the standards for justifiable use of
15    force provided by Article 7 of the Criminal Code of 2012;
16        (2) Respondent was voluntarily intoxicated;
17        (3) Petitioner acted in self-defense or defense of
18    another, provided that, if petitioner utilized force, such
19    force was justifiable under Article 7 of the Criminal Code
20    of 2012;
21        (4) Petitioner did not act in self-defense or defense
22    of another;
23        (5) Petitioner left the residence or household to avoid
24    further abuse by respondent;
25        (6) Petitioner did not leave the residence or household
26    to avoid further abuse by respondent;

3    have excused such abuse if the parties had not been family
4    or household members.
