Illinois Civil No Contact Order-Summons is a court order issued by a judge to prevent contact between two parties. It can be used to protect victims of domestic violence, stalking, harassment, and other similar crimes. The order prohibits all contact between the two parties, including in-person, electronic, and written communication. It also typically includes a mandate that the defendant must stay a certain distance away from the plaintiff. There are two types of Illinois Civil No Contact Order-Summons: emergency orders and permanent orders. Emergency orders are issued quickly and can be granted on an ex parte basis, meaning the defendant does not need to be present. Permanent orders are more long-term and require the defendant to appear in court.
