Illinois Stalking No Contact Verified Petition is a legal document used to obtain a court order from a judge that prevents the respondent (stalker) from contacting or harassing the petitioner (victim). It is available in two forms: a temporary restraining order (TO) and a permanent order of protection (OP). The TO lasts up to 21 days and may be extended if the court finds it necessary. The OP is a longer-term order that can last up to two years. The petitioner must provide evidence of the stalking and harassment to the court in order to obtain the order. The petitioner must also prove that they have made reasonable attempts to inform the stalker of the order. The respondent must be served with the order to be informed of the restrictions. The Illinois Stalking No Contact Verified Petition can provide the petitioner with the protection they need to stay safe from the stalker.
