Different Types of Orders of Protection- Illinois Domestic Violence Attorneys
Illinois has three different types of protection orders that can be filed. They are as follows:
- Emergency Order (EOP) – An emergency order can be obtained immediately and is intended to protect the victim until a hearing for an interim or plenary order is held. The emergency order of protection can last anywhere from 7 to 21 days.
- Interim Order of Protection (IOP) – An interim order is an order of protection that can last up to 30 days and is usually granted in situations where the emergency order has expired and when the hearing for the plenary order cannot be scheduled immediately.
- Plenary Order (POP) – A plenary order is an order of protection that can last up to two years. This kind of order is usually granted after a hearing and when both the plaintiff and the defendant have the opportunity to present evidence.
