147	147	1 (2) Grant of exclusive possession of residence.
148	148	2 Prohibit respondent from entering or remaining in any
149	149	3 residence, household, or premises of the petitioner,
150	150	4 including one owned or leased by respondent, if petitioner
151	151	5 has a right to occupancy thereof. The grant of exclusive
152	152	6 possession of the residence, household, or premises shall
153	153	7 not affect title to real property, nor shall the court be
154	154	8 limited by the standard set forth in subsection (c-2) of
155	155	9 Section 501 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
156	156	10 Marriage Act.
157	157	11 (A) Right to occupancy. A party has a right to
158	158	12 occupancy of a residence or household if it is solely
159	159	13 or jointly owned or leased by that party, that party's
160	160	14 spouse, a person with a legal duty to support that
161	161	15 party or a minor child in that party's care, or by any
162	162	16 person or entity other than the opposing party that
163	163	17 authorizes that party's occupancy (e.g., a domestic
164	164	18 violence shelter). Standards set forth in subparagraph
165	165	19 (B) shall not preclude equitable relief.
166	166	20 (B) Presumption of hardships. If petitioner and
167	167	21 respondent each has the right to occupancy of a
168	168	22 residence or household, the court shall balance (i)
169	169	23 the hardships to respondent and any minor child or
170	170	24 dependent adult in respondent's care resulting from
171	171	25 entry of this remedy with (ii) the hardships to
172	172	26 petitioner and any minor child or dependent adult in

183	183	1 petitioner's care resulting from continued exposure to
184	184	2 the risk of abuse (should petitioner remain at the
185	185	3 residence or household) or from loss of possession of
186	186	4 the residence or household (should petitioner leave to
187	187	5 avoid the risk of abuse). When determining the balance
188	188	6 of hardships, the court shall also take into account
189	189	7 the accessibility of the residence or household.
190	190	8 Hardships need not be balanced if respondent does not
191	191	9 have a right to occupancy.
192	192	10 The balance of hardships is presumed to favor
193	193	11 possession by petitioner unless the presumption is
194	194	12 rebutted by a preponderance of the evidence, showing
195	195	13 that the hardships to respondent substantially
196	196	14 outweigh the hardships to petitioner and any minor
197	197	15 child or dependent adult in petitioner's care. The
198	198	16 court, on the request of petitioner or on its own
199	199	17 motion, may order respondent to provide suitable,
200	200	18 accessible, alternate housing for petitioner instead
201	201	19 of excluding respondent from a mutual residence or
202	202	20 household.
203	203	21 (3) Stay away order and additional prohibitions. Order
204	204	22 respondent to stay away from petitioner or any other
205	205	23 person protected by the domestic violence order of
206	206	24 protection, or prohibit respondent from entering or
207	207	25 remaining present at petitioner's school, place of

219	219	1 petitioner is present, or both, if reasonable, given the
220	220	2 balance of hardships. Hardships need not be balanced for
221	221	3 the court to enter a stay away order or prohibit entry if
222	222	4 respondent has no right to enter the premises.
223	223	5 (A) If a domestic violence order of protection
224	224	6 grants petitioner exclusive possession of the
225	225	7 residence, prohibits respondent from entering the
226	226	8 residence, or orders respondent to stay away from
227	227	9 petitioner or other protected persons, then the court
228	228	10 may allow respondent access to the residence to remove
229	229	11 items of clothing and personal adornment used
230	230	12 exclusively by respondent, medications, and other
231	231	13 items as the court directs. The right to access shall
232	232	14 be exercised on only one occasion as the court directs
233	233	15 and in the presence of an agreed-upon adult third
234	234	16 party or law enforcement officer.
235	235	17 (B) When the petitioner and the respondent attend
236	236	18 the same public, private, or non-public elementary,
237	237	19 middle, or high school, the court when issuing a
238	238	20 domestic violence order of protection and providing
239	239	21 relief shall consider the severity of the act, any
240	240	22 continuing physical danger or emotional distress to
241	241	23 the petitioner, the educational rights guaranteed to
242	242	24 the petitioner and respondent under federal and State
243	243	25 law, the availability of a transfer of the respondent
244	244	26 to another school, a change of placement or a change of

256	256	2 and educational disruption that would be caused by a
257	257	3 transfer of the respondent to another school, and any
258	258	4 other relevant facts of the case. The court may order
259	259	5 that the respondent not attend the public, private, or
260	260	6 non-public elementary, middle, or high school attended
261	261	7 by the petitioner, order that the respondent accept a
262	262	8 change of placement or change of program, as
263	263	9 determined by the school district or private or
264	264	10 non-public school, or place restrictions on the
265	265	11 respondent's movements within the school attended by
266	266	12 the petitioner. The respondent bears the burden of
267	267	13 proving by a preponderance of the evidence that a
268	268	14 transfer, change of placement, or change of program of
269	269	15 the respondent is not available. The respondent also
270	270	16 bears the burden of production with respect to the
271	271	17 expense, difficulty, and educational disruption that
272	272	18 would be caused by a transfer of the respondent to
273	273	19 another school. A transfer, change of placement, or
274	274	20 change of program is not unavailable to the respondent
275	275	21 solely on the ground that the respondent does not
276	276	22 agree with the school district's or private or
277	277	23 non-public school's transfer, change of placement, or
278	278	24 change of program or solely on the ground that the

292	292	2 When a court orders a respondent to stay away from the
293	293	3 public, private, or non-public school attended by the
294	294	4 petitioner and the respondent requests a transfer to
295	295	5 another attendance center within the respondent's
296	296	6 school district or private or non-public school, the
297	297	7 school district or private or non-public school shall
298	298	8 have sole discretion to determine the attendance
299	299	9 center to which the respondent is transferred. If the
300	300	10 court order results in a transfer of the minor
301	301	11 respondent to another attendance center, a change in
302	302	12 the respondent's placement, or a change of the
303	303	13 respondent's program, the parents, guardian, or legal
304	304	14 custodian of the respondent is responsible for
305	305	15 transportation and other costs associated with the
306	306	16 transfer or change.
307	307	17 (C) The court may order the parents, guardian, or
308	308	18 legal custodian of a minor respondent to take certain
309	309	19 actions or to refrain from taking certain actions to
310	310	20 ensure that the respondent complies with the order. If
311	311	21 the court orders a transfer of the respondent to

336	336	10 approved partner abuse intervention program for an
337	337	11 assessment and to follow all recommended treatment.

339	339	13 In order to protect the minor child from abuse, neglect,
340	340	14 or unwarranted separation from the person who has been the
341	341	15 minor child's primary caretaker, or to otherwise protect
342	342	16 the well-being of the minor child, the court may do either
343	343	17 or both of the following: (i) grant petitioner physical
344	344	18 care or possession of the minor child, or both, or (ii)
345	345	19 order respondent to return a minor child to, or not remove
346	346	20 a minor child from, the physical care of a parent or person
347	347	21 in loco parentis.
348	348	22 If the respondent is charged with abuse (as defined in
349	349	23 Section 112A-3 of this Code) of a minor child, there shall
350	350	24 be a rebuttable presumption that awarding physical care to
351	351	25 respondent would not be in the minor child's best
352	352	26 interest.

364	364	2 and significant decision-making responsibilities. Award
365	365	3 temporary significant decision-making responsibility to
366	366	4 petitioner in accordance with this Section, the Illinois
367	367	5 Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, the Illinois
368	368	6 Parentage Act of 2015, and this State's Uniform
369	369	7 Child-Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act.
370	370	8 If the respondent is charged with abuse (as defined in

372	372	10 be a rebuttable presumption that awarding temporary
373	373	11 significant decision-making responsibility to respondent
374	374	12 would not be in the child's best interest.

376	376	14 any, of respondent in any case in which the court awards
377	377	15 physical care or temporary significant decision-making
378	378	16 responsibility of a minor child to petitioner. The court
379	379	17 shall restrict or deny respondent's parenting time with a
380	380	18 minor child if the court finds that respondent has done or
381	381	19 is likely to do any of the following:
382	382	20 (i) abuse or endanger the minor child during
383	383	21 parenting time;
384	384	22 (ii) use the parenting time as an opportunity to
385	385	23 abuse or harass petitioner or petitioner's family or
386	386	24 household members;
387	387	25 (iii) improperly conceal or detain the minor
388	388	26 child; or

399	399	1 (iv) otherwise act in a manner that is not in the
400	400	2 best interests of the minor child.
401	401	3 The court shall not be limited by the standards set
402	402	4 forth in Section 603.10 of the Illinois Marriage and
403	403	5 Dissolution of Marriage Act. If the court grants parenting
404	404	6 time, the order shall specify dates and times for the
405	405	7 parenting time to take place or other specific parameters
406	406	8 or conditions that are appropriate. No order for parenting
407	407	9 time shall refer merely to the term "reasonable parenting
408	408	10 time". Petitioner may deny respondent access to the minor
409	409	11 child if, when respondent arrives for parenting time,
410	410	12 respondent is under the influence of drugs or alcohol and
411	411	13 constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being of
412	412	14 petitioner or petitioner's minor children or is behaving
413	413	15 in a violent or abusive manner. If necessary to protect
414	414	16 any member of petitioner's family or household from future
415	415	17 abuse, respondent shall be prohibited from coming to
416	416	18 petitioner's residence to meet the minor child for
417	417	19 parenting time, and the petitioner and respondent shall
418	418	20 submit to the court their recommendations for reasonable
419	419	21 alternative arrangements for parenting time. A person may
420	420	22 be approved to supervise parenting time only after filing
421	421	23 an affidavit accepting that responsibility and
422	422	24 acknowledging accountability to the court.
423	423	25 (8) Removal or concealment of minor child. Prohibit
424	424	26 respondent from removing a minor child from the State or

435	435	1 concealing the child within the State.
436	436	2 (9) Order to appear. Order the respondent to appear in
437	437	3 court, alone or with a minor child, to prevent abuse,
438	438	4 neglect, removal or concealment of the child, to return
439	439	5 the child to the custody or care of the petitioner, or to
440	440	6 permit any court-ordered interview or examination of the
441	441	7 child or the respondent.
442	442	8 (10) Possession of personal property. Grant petitioner
443	443	9 exclusive possession of personal property and, if
444	444	10 respondent has possession or control, direct respondent to
445	445	11 promptly make it available to petitioner, if:
446	446	12 (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the
447	447	13 property; or
448	448	14 (ii) the petitioner and respondent own the
449	449	15 property jointly; sharing it would risk abuse of
450	450	16 petitioner by respondent or is impracticable; and the
451	451	17 balance of hardships favors temporary possession by
452	452	18 petitioner.
453	453	19 If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the
454	454	20 property is that it is marital property, the court may
455	455	21 award petitioner temporary possession thereof under the
456	456	22 standards of subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph only if a
457	457	23 proper proceeding has been filed under the Illinois
458	458	24 Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as now or

472	472	2 (11) Protection of property. Forbid the respondent
473	473	3 from taking, transferring, encumbering, concealing,
474	474	4 damaging, or otherwise disposing of any real or personal
475	475	5 property, except as explicitly authorized by the court,
476	476	6 if:
477	477	7 (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the
478	478	8 property; or
479	479	9 (ii) the petitioner and respondent own the
480	480	10 property jointly, and the balance of hardships favors
481	481	11 granting this remedy.
482	482	12 If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the
483	483	13 property is that it is marital property, the court may
484	484	14 grant petitioner relief under subparagraph (ii) of this
485	485	15 paragraph only if a proper proceeding has been filed under
486	486	16 the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as
487	487	17 now or hereafter amended.
488	488	18 The court may further prohibit respondent from
489	489	19 improperly using the financial or other resources of an
490	490	20 aged member of the family or household for the profit or
491	491	21 advantage of respondent or of any other person.
492	492	22 (11.5) Protection of animals. Grant the petitioner the
493	493	23 exclusive care, custody, or control of any animal owned,
494	494	24 possessed, leased, kept, or held by either the petitioner
495	495	25 or the respondent or a minor child residing in the

510	510	4 otherwise disposing of the animal.
511	511	5 (12) Order for payment of support. Order respondent to
512	512	6 pay temporary support for the petitioner or any child in
513	513	7 the petitioner's care or over whom the petitioner has been
514	514	8 allocated parental responsibility, when the respondent has
515	515	9 a legal obligation to support that person, in accordance
516	516	10 with the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage
517	517	11 Act, which shall govern, among other matters, the amount
518	518	12 of support, payment through the clerk and withholding of
519	519	13 income to secure payment. An order for child support may
520	520	14 be granted to a petitioner with lawful physical care of a
521	521	15 child, or an order or agreement for physical care of a
522	522	16 child, prior to entry of an order allocating significant
523	523	17 decision-making responsibility. Such a support order shall
524	524	18 expire upon entry of a valid order allocating parental
525	525	19 responsibility differently and vacating petitioner's
526	526	20 significant decision-making responsibility unless
527	527	21 otherwise provided in the order.
528	528	22 (13) Order for payment of losses. Order respondent to
529	529	23 pay petitioner for losses suffered as a direct result of
530	530	24 the abuse. Such losses shall include, but not be limited
531	531	25 to, medical expenses, lost earnings or other support,

546	546	4 (i) Losses affecting family needs. If a party is
547	547	5 entitled to seek maintenance, child support, or
548	548	6 property distribution from the other party under the
549	549	7 Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as
550	550	8 now or hereafter amended, the court may order
551	551	9 respondent to reimburse petitioner's actual losses, to
552	552	10 the extent that such reimbursement would be
553	553	11 "appropriate temporary relief", as authorized by
554	554	12 subsection (a)(3) of Section 501 of that Act.
555	555	13 (ii) Recovery of expenses. In the case of an
556	556	14 improper concealment or removal of a minor child, the
557	557	15 court may order respondent to pay the reasonable
558	558	16 expenses incurred or to be incurred in the search for
559	559	17 and recovery of the minor child, including, but not
560	560	18 limited to, legal fees, court costs, private
561	561	19 investigator fees, and travel costs.

583	583	5 (B) Any firearms in the possession of the
584	584	6 respondent, except as provided in subparagraph (C) of

586	586	8 to be turned over to a person with a valid Firearm

589	589	11 Section 9.5 of the Firearm Owners Identification Card
590	590	12 Act.
591	591	13 (C) If the respondent is a peace officer as
592	592	14 defined in Section 2-13 of the Criminal Code of 2012,
593	593	15 the court shall order that any firearms used by the
594	594	16 respondent in the performance of his or her duties as a

623	623	9 who is lawfully eligible to possess firearms, and who
624	624	10 does not reside with respondent.

626	626	12 violence order of protection prohibits respondent from
627	627	13 having contact with the minor child, or if petitioner's
628	628	14 address is omitted under subsection (b) of Section 112A-5
629	629	15 of this Code, or if necessary to prevent abuse or wrongful
630	630	16 removal or concealment of a minor child, the order shall
631	631	17 deny respondent access to, and prohibit respondent from
632	632	18 inspecting, obtaining, or attempting to inspect or obtain,
633	633	19 school or any other records of the minor child who is in
634	634	20 the care of petitioner.

655	655	5 is abuse or any other harm that one of the remedies listed
656	656	6 in paragraphs (1) through (16) of this subsection is
657	657	7 designed to prevent, no further evidence is necessary to
658	658	8 establish that the harm is an irreparable injury.
659	659	9 (18) Telephone services.
660	660	10 (A) Unless a condition described in subparagraph
661	661	11 (B) of this paragraph exists, the court may, upon
662	662	12 request by the petitioner, order a wireless telephone
663	663	13 service provider to transfer to the petitioner the
664	664	14 right to continue to use a telephone number or numbers
665	665	15 indicated by the petitioner and the financial
666	666	16 responsibility associated with the number or numbers,
667	667	17 as set forth in subparagraph (C) of this paragraph. In
668	668	18 this paragraph (18), the term "wireless telephone
669	669	19 service provider" means a provider of commercial
670	670	20 mobile service as defined in 47 U.S.C. 332. The
671	671	21 petitioner may request the transfer of each telephone
672	672	22 number that the petitioner, or a minor child in his or
673	673	23 her custody, uses. The clerk of the court shall serve
674	674	24 the order on the wireless telephone service provider's
675	675	25 agent for service of process provided to the Illinois

698	698	12 (B) A wireless telephone service provider shall
699	699	13 terminate the respondent's use of, and shall transfer
700	700	14 to the petitioner use of, the telephone number or

702	702	16 paragraph unless it notifies the petitioner, within 72
703	703	17 hours after it receives the order, that one of the
704	704	18 following applies:
705	705	19 (i) The account holder named in the order has
706	706	20 terminated the account.
707	707	21 (ii) A difference in network technology would
708	708	22 prevent or impair the functionality of a device on
709	709	23 a network if the transfer occurs.
710	710	24 (iii) The transfer would cause a geographic or
711	711	25 other limitation on network or service provision
712	712	26 to the petitioner.

726	726	4 (C) The petitioner assumes all financial
727	727	5 responsibility for and right to the use of any
728	728	6 telephone number transferred under this paragraph. In
729	729	7 this paragraph, "financial responsibility" includes
730	730	8 monthly service costs and costs associated with any
731	731	9 mobile device associated with the number.
732	732	10 (D) A wireless telephone service provider may
733	733	11 apply to the petitioner its routine and customary
734	734	12 requirements for establishing an account or
735	735	13 transferring a number, including requiring the
736	736	14 petitioner to provide proof of identification,

741	741	19 with a court order issued under this paragraph.
742	742	20 (F) All wireless service providers that provide

769	769	11 relevant factors, including, but not limited to, the
770	770	12 following:
771	771	13 (i) the nature, frequency, severity, pattern, and
772	772	14 consequences of the respondent's past abuse of the
773	773	15 petitioner or any family or household member,
774	774	16 including the concealment of his or her location in
775	775	17 order to evade service of process or notice, and the
776	776	18 likelihood of danger of future abuse to petitioner or
777	777	19 any member of petitioner's or respondent's family or
778	778	20 household; and
779	779	21 (ii) the danger that any minor child will be
780	780	22 abused or neglected or improperly relocated from the
781	781	23 jurisdiction, improperly concealed within the State,
782	782	24 or improperly separated from the child's primary
783	783	25 caretaker.

795	795	1 parties from loss of possession of the family home, the
796	796	2 court shall consider relevant factors, including, but not
797	797	3 limited to, the following:
798	798	4 (i) availability, accessibility, cost, safety,
799	799	5 adequacy, location, and other characteristics of
800	800	6 alternate housing for each party and any minor child
801	801	7 or dependent adult in the party's care;
802	802	8 (ii) the effect on the party's employment; and
803	803	9 (iii) the effect on the relationship of the party,
804	804	10 and any minor child or dependent adult in the party's
805	805	11 care, to family, school, church, and community.
806	806	12 (3) Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph
807	807	13 (4) of this subsection (c), the court shall make its
808	808	14 findings in an official record or in writing, and shall at
809	809	15 a minimum set forth the following:
810	810	16 (i) That the court has considered the applicable
811	811	17 relevant factors described in paragraphs (1) and (2)
812	812	18 of this subsection (c).
813	813	19 (ii) Whether the conduct or actions of respondent,
814	814	20 unless prohibited, will likely cause irreparable harm
815	815	21 or continued abuse.
816	816	22 (iii) Whether it is necessary to grant the
817	817	23 requested relief in order to protect petitioner or
818	818	24 other alleged abused persons.

835	835	5 the Illinois Public Aid Code, Section 12 of the Vital

837	837	7 Act of 1975, the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act,
838	838	8 the Expedited Child Support Act of 1990, any judicial,
839	839	9 administrative, or other act of another state or
840	840	10 territory, any other statute of this State, or by any
841	841	11 foreign nation establishing the father and child
842	842	12 relationship, any other proceeding substantially in
843	843	13 conformity with the federal Personal Responsibility and
844	844	14 Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, or when both
845	845	15 parties appeared in open court or at an administrative
846	846	16 hearing acknowledging under oath or admitting by
847	847	17 affirmation the existence of a father and child
848	848	18 relationship. Absent such an adjudication, no putative
849	849	19 father shall be granted temporary allocation of parental
850	850	20 responsibilities, including parenting time with the minor
851	851	21 child, or physical care and possession of the minor child,
852	852	22 nor shall an order of payment for support of the minor
853	853	23 child be entered.
854	854	24 (d) Balance of hardships; findings. If the court finds
855	855	25 that the balance of hardships does not support the granting of

872	872	6 The findings shall be an official record or in writing.
873	873	7 (e) Denial of remedies. Denial of any remedy shall not be
874	874	8 based, in whole or in part, on evidence that:
875	875	9 (1) respondent has cause for any use of force, unless
876	876	10 that cause satisfies the standards for justifiable use of
877	877	11 force provided by Article 7 of the Criminal Code of 2012;
878	878	12 (2) respondent was voluntarily intoxicated;
879	879	13 (3) petitioner acted in self-defense or defense of
880	880	14 another, provided that, if petitioner utilized force, such
881	881	15 force was justifiable under Article 7 of the Criminal Code
882	882	16 of 2012;
883	883	17 (4) petitioner did not act in self-defense or defense
884	884	18 of another;
885	885	19 (5) petitioner left the residence or household to
886	886	20 avoid further abuse by respondent;
887	887	21 (6) petitioner did not leave the residence or
888	888	22 household to avoid further abuse by respondent; or
889	889	23 (7) conduct by any family or household member excused
890	890	24 the abuse by respondent, unless that same conduct would
891	891	25 have excused such abuse if the parties had not been family
892	892	26 or household members.

908	908	6 Sec. 214. Order of protection; remedies.
909	909	7 (a) Issuance of order. If the court finds that petitioner
910	910	8 has been abused by a family or household member or that
911	911	9 petitioner is a high-risk adult who has been abused,
912	912	10 neglected, or exploited, as defined in this Act, an order of
913	913	11 protection prohibiting the abuse, neglect, or exploitation
914	914	12 shall issue; provided that petitioner must also satisfy the
915	915	13 requirements of one of the following Sections, as appropriate:
916	916	14 Section 217 on emergency orders, Section 218 on interim
917	917	15 orders, or Section 219 on plenary orders. Petitioner shall not
918	918	16 be denied an order of protection because petitioner or
919	919	17 respondent is a minor. The court, when determining whether or
920	920	18 not to issue an order of protection, shall not require
921	921	19 physical manifestations of abuse on the person of the victim.
922	922	20 Modification and extension of prior orders of protection shall
923	923	21 be in accordance with this Act.
924	924	22 (b) Remedies and standards. The remedies to be included in
925	925	23 an order of protection shall be determined in accordance with

939	939	3 remedies listed in this subsection shall be in addition to
940	940	4 other civil or criminal remedies available to petitioner.
941	941	5 (1) Prohibition of abuse, neglect, or exploitation.
942	942	6 Prohibit respondent's harassment, interference with
943	943	7 personal liberty, intimidation of a dependent, physical
944	944	8 abuse, or willful deprivation, neglect or exploitation, as
945	945	9 defined in this Act, or stalking of the petitioner, as
946	946	10 defined in Section 12-7.3 of the Criminal Code of 2012, if
947	947	11 such abuse, neglect, exploitation, or stalking has
948	948	12 occurred or otherwise appears likely to occur if not
949	949	13 prohibited.
950	950	14 (2) Grant of exclusive possession of residence.
951	951	15 Prohibit respondent from entering or remaining in any
952	952	16 residence, household, or premises of the petitioner,
953	953	17 including one owned or leased by respondent, if petitioner
954	954	18 has a right to occupancy thereof. The grant of exclusive
955	955	19 possession of the residence, household, or premises shall
956	956	20 not affect title to real property, nor shall the court be
957	957	21 limited by the standard set forth in subsection (c-2) of
958	958	22 Section 501 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
959	959	23 Marriage Act.
960	960	24 (A) Right to occupancy. A party has a right to
961	961	25 occupancy of a residence or household if it is solely
962	962	26 or jointly owned or leased by that party, that party's

977	977	5 violence shelter). Standards set forth in subparagraph
978	978	6 (B) shall not preclude equitable relief.
979	979	7 (B) Presumption of hardships. If petitioner and
980	980	8 respondent each has the right to occupancy of a
981	981	9 residence or household, the court shall balance (i)
982	982	10 the hardships to respondent and any minor child or
983	983	11 dependent adult in respondent's care resulting from
984	984	12 entry of this remedy with (ii) the hardships to
985	985	13 petitioner and any minor child or dependent adult in
986	986	14 petitioner's care resulting from continued exposure to
987	987	15 the risk of abuse (should petitioner remain at the
988	988	16 residence or household) or from loss of possession of
989	989	17 the residence or household (should petitioner leave to
990	990	18 avoid the risk of abuse). When determining the balance
991	991	19 of hardships, the court shall also take into account
992	992	20 the accessibility of the residence or household.
993	993	21 Hardships need not be balanced if respondent does not

995	995	23 The balance of hardships is presumed to favor

1009	1009	1 outweigh the hardships to petitioner and any minor
1010	1010	2 child or dependent adult in petitioner's care. The
1011	1011	3 court, on the request of petitioner or on its own
1012	1012	4 motion, may order respondent to provide suitable,
1013	1013	5 accessible, alternate housing for petitioner instead
1014	1014	6 of excluding respondent from a mutual residence or
1015	1015	7 household.
1016	1016	8 (3) Stay away order and additional prohibitions. Order
1017	1017	9 respondent to stay away from petitioner or any other
1018	1018	10 person protected by the order of protection, or prohibit
1019	1019	11 respondent from entering or remaining present at
1020	1020	12 petitioner's school, place of employment, or other
1021	1021	13 specified places at times when petitioner is present, or
1022	1022	14 both, if reasonable, given the balance of hardships.
1023	1023	15 Hardships need not be balanced for the court to enter a
1024	1024	16 stay away order or prohibit entry if respondent has no
1025	1025	17 right to enter the premises.
1026	1026	18 (A) If an order of protection grants petitioner
1027	1027	19 exclusive possession of the residence, or prohibits
1028	1028	20 respondent from entering the residence, or orders
1029	1029	21 respondent to stay away from petitioner or other
1030	1030	22 protected persons, then the court may allow respondent
1031	1031	23 access to the residence to remove items of clothing
1032	1032	24 and personal adornment used exclusively by respondent,
1033	1033	25 medications, and other items as the court directs. The

1049	1049	5 the same public, private, or non-public elementary,
1050	1050	6 middle, or high school, the court when issuing an
1051	1051	7 order of protection and providing relief shall
1052	1052	8 consider the severity of the act, any continuing
1053	1053	9 physical danger or emotional distress to the
1054	1054	10 petitioner, the educational rights guaranteed to the
1055	1055	11 petitioner and respondent under federal and State law,
1056	1056	12 the availability of a transfer of the respondent to
1057	1057	13 another school, a change of placement or a change of
1058	1058	14 program of the respondent, the expense, difficulty,
1059	1059	15 and educational disruption that would be caused by a
1060	1060	16 transfer of the respondent to another school, and any
1061	1061	17 other relevant facts of the case. The court may order
1062	1062	18 that the respondent not attend the public, private, or
1063	1063	19 non-public elementary, middle, or high school attended
1064	1064	20 by the petitioner, order that the respondent accept a
1065	1065	21 change of placement or change of program, as
1066	1066	22 determined by the school district or private or
1067	1067	23 non-public school, or place restrictions on the
1068	1068	24 respondent's movements within the school attended by
1069	1069	25 the petitioner. The respondent bears the burden of
1070	1070	26 proving by a preponderance of the evidence that a

1081	1081	1 transfer, change of placement, or change of program of
1082	1082	2 the respondent is not available. The respondent also
1083	1083	3 bears the burden of production with respect to the
1084	1084	4 expense, difficulty, and educational disruption that
1085	1085	5 would be caused by a transfer of the respondent to
1086	1086	6 another school. A transfer, change of placement, or
1087	1087	7 change of program is not unavailable to the respondent
1088	1088	8 solely on the ground that the respondent does not
1089	1089	9 agree with the school district's or private or
1090	1090	10 non-public school's transfer, change of placement, or
1091	1091	11 change of program or solely on the ground that the
1092	1092	12 respondent fails or refuses to consent or otherwise
1093	1093	13 does not take an action required to effectuate a
1094	1094	14 transfer, change of placement, or change of program.
1095	1095	15 When a court orders a respondent to stay away from the
1096	1096	16 public, private, or non-public school attended by the
1097	1097	17 petitioner and the respondent requests a transfer to
1098	1098	18 another attendance center within the respondent's
1099	1099	19 school district or private or non-public school, the
1100	1100	20 school district or private or non-public school shall
1101	1101	21 have sole discretion to determine the attendance
1102	1102	22 center to which the respondent is transferred. In the
1103	1103	23 event the court order results in a transfer of the
1104	1104	24 minor respondent to another attendance center, a
1105	1105	25 change in the respondent's placement, or a change of
1106	1106	26 the respondent's program, the parents, guardian, or

1120	1120	4 (C) The court may order the parents, guardian, or
1121	1121	5 legal custodian of a minor respondent to take certain
1122	1122	6 actions or to refrain from taking certain actions to
1123	1123	7 ensure that the respondent complies with the order. In
1124	1124	8 the event the court orders a transfer of the
1125	1125	9 respondent to another school, the parents, guardian,
1126	1126	10 or legal custodian of the respondent is responsible
1127	1127	11 for transportation and other costs associated with the
1128	1128	12 change of school by the respondent.
1129	1129	13 (4) Counseling. Require or recommend the respondent to
1130	1130	14 undergo counseling for a specified duration with a social
1131	1131	15 worker, psychologist, clinical psychologist,
1132	1132	16 psychiatrist, family service agency, alcohol or substance
1133	1133	17 abuse program, mental health center guidance counselor,
1134	1134	18 agency providing services to elders, program designed for
1135	1135	19 domestic violence abusers or any other guidance service
1136	1136	20 the court deems appropriate. The Court may order the
1137	1137	21 respondent in any intimate partner relationship to report
1138	1138	22 to an Illinois Department of Human Services protocol
1139	1139	23 approved partner abuse intervention program for an
1140	1140	24 assessment and to follow all recommended treatment.
1141	1141	25 (5) Physical care and possession of the minor child.

1153	1153	1 or unwarranted separation from the person who has been the
1154	1154	2 minor child's primary caretaker, or to otherwise protect
1155	1155	3 the well-being of the minor child, the court may do either
1156	1156	4 or both of the following: (i) grant petitioner physical
1157	1157	5 care or possession of the minor child, or both, or (ii)
1158	1158	6 order respondent to return a minor child to, or not remove
1159	1159	7 a minor child from, the physical care of a parent or person
1160	1160	8 in loco parentis.
1161	1161	9 If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has
1162	1162	10 committed abuse (as defined in Section 103) of a minor
1163	1163	11 child, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that
1164	1164	12 awarding physical care to respondent would not be in the
1165	1165	13 minor child's best interest.
1166	1166	14 (6) Temporary allocation of parental responsibilities:
1167	1167	15 significant decision-making. Award temporary
1168	1168	16 decision-making responsibility to petitioner in accordance
1169	1169	17 with this Section, the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution
1170	1170	18 of Marriage Act, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015, and

1173	1173	21 If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has
1174	1174	22 committed abuse (as defined in Section 103) of a minor
1175	1175	23 child, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that
1176	1176	24 awarding temporary significant decision-making
1177	1177	25 responsibility to respondent would not be in the child's
1178	1178	26 best interest.

1190	1190	2 any, of respondent in any case in which the court awards
1191	1191	3 physical care or allocates temporary significant
1192	1192	4 decision-making responsibility of a minor child to
1193	1193	5 petitioner. The court shall restrict or deny respondent's
1194	1194	6 parenting time with a minor child if the court finds that
1195	1195	7 respondent has done or is likely to do any of the
1196	1196	8 following: (i) abuse or endanger the minor child during
1197	1197	9 parenting time; (ii) use the parenting time as an
1198	1198	10 opportunity to abuse or harass petitioner or petitioner's
1199	1199	11 family or household members; (iii) improperly conceal or
1200	1200	12 detain the minor child; or (iv) otherwise act in a manner
1201	1201	13 that is not in the best interests of the minor child. The
1202	1202	14 court shall not be limited by the standards set forth in
1203	1203	15 Section 603.10 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
1204	1204	16 Marriage Act. If the court grants parenting time, the
1205	1205	17 order shall specify dates and times for the parenting time
1206	1206	18 to take place or other specific parameters or conditions
1207	1207	19 that are appropriate. No order for parenting time shall
1208	1208	20 refer merely to the term "reasonable parenting time".
1209	1209	21 Petitioner may deny respondent access to the minor
1210	1210	22 child if, when respondent arrives for parenting time,
1211	1211	23 respondent is under the influence of drugs or alcohol and
1212	1212	24 constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being of
1213	1213	25 petitioner or petitioner's minor children or is behaving
1214	1214	26 in a violent or abusive manner.

1228	1228	4 the minor child for parenting time, and the parties shall
1229	1229	5 submit to the court their recommendations for reasonable
1230	1230	6 alternative arrangements for parenting time. A person may
1231	1231	7 be approved to supervise parenting time only after filing
1232	1232	8 an affidavit accepting that responsibility and
1233	1233	9 acknowledging accountability to the court.
1234	1234	10 (8) Removal or concealment of minor child. Prohibit
1235	1235	11 respondent from removing a minor child from the State or
1236	1236	12 concealing the child within the State.
1237	1237	13 (9) Order to appear. Order the respondent to appear in
1238	1238	14 court, alone or with a minor child, to prevent abuse,
1239	1239	15 neglect, removal or concealment of the child, to return
1240	1240	16 the child to the custody or care of the petitioner or to
1241	1241	17 permit any court-ordered interview or examination of the
1242	1242	18 child or the respondent.
1243	1243	19 (10) Possession of personal property. Grant petitioner
1244	1244	20 exclusive possession of personal property and, if
1245	1245	21 respondent has possession or control, direct respondent to
1246	1246	22 promptly make it available to petitioner, if:
1247	1247	23 (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the
1248	1248	24 property; or

1262	1262	2 temporary possession by petitioner.
1263	1263	3 If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the
1264	1264	4 property is that it is marital property, the court may
1265	1265	5 award petitioner temporary possession thereof under the
1266	1266	6 standards of subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph only if a
1267	1267	7 proper proceeding has been filed under the Illinois
1268	1268	8 Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as now or

1270	1270	10 No order under this provision shall affect title to
1271	1271	11 property.
1272	1272	12 (11) Protection of property. Forbid the respondent
1273	1273	13 from taking, transferring, encumbering, concealing,
1274	1274	14 damaging or otherwise disposing of any real or personal
1275	1275	15 property, except as explicitly authorized by the court,
1276	1276	16 if:
1277	1277	17 (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the
1278	1278	18 property; or
1279	1279	19 (ii) the parties own the property jointly, and the
1280	1280	20 balance of hardships favors granting this remedy.
1281	1281	21 If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the
1282	1282	22 property is that it is marital property, the court may
1283	1283	23 grant petitioner relief under subparagraph (ii) of this
1284	1284	24 paragraph only if a proper proceeding has been filed under
1285	1285	25 the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as

1300	1300	4 advantage of respondent or of any other person.
1301	1301	5 (11.5) Protection of animals. Grant the petitioner the
1302	1302	6 exclusive care, custody, or control of any animal owned,
1303	1303	7 possessed, leased, kept, or held by either the petitioner
1304	1304	8 or the respondent or a minor child residing in the
1305	1305	9 residence or household of either the petitioner or the
1306	1306	10 respondent and order the respondent to stay away from the
1307	1307	11 animal and forbid the respondent from taking,
1308	1308	12 transferring, encumbering, concealing, harming, or
1309	1309	13 otherwise disposing of the animal.
1310	1310	14 (12) Order for payment of support. Order respondent to
1311	1311	15 pay temporary support for the petitioner or any child in
1312	1312	16 the petitioner's care or over whom the petitioner has been
1313	1313	17 allocated parental responsibility, when the respondent has
1314	1314	18 a legal obligation to support that person, in accordance
1315	1315	19 with the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage
1316	1316	20 Act, which shall govern, among other matters, the amount
1317	1317	21 of support, payment through the clerk and withholding of
1318	1318	22 income to secure payment. An order for child support may
1319	1319	23 be granted to a petitioner with lawful physical care of a
1320	1320	24 child, or an order or agreement for physical care of a
1321	1321	25 child, prior to entry of an order allocating significant

1669	1669	13 paragraphs (c)(3)(i) through (c)(3)(iii) of this
1670	1670	14 subsection, may use the following procedure:
1671	1671	15 When a verified petition for an emergency order of
1672	1672	16 protection in accordance with the requirements of Sections
1673	1673	17 203 and 217 is presented to the court, the court shall
1674	1674	18 examine petitioner on oath or affirmation. An emergency
1675	1675	19 order of protection shall be issued by the court if it
1676	1676	20 appears from the contents of the petition and the
1677	1677	21 examination of petitioner that the averments are
1678	1678	22 sufficient to indicate abuse by respondent and to support
1679	1679	23 the granting of relief under the issuance of the emergency
1680	1680	24 order of protection.

1738	1738	10 that cause satisfies the standards for justifiable use of
1739	1739	11 force provided by Article 7 of the Criminal Code of 2012;
1740	1740	12 (2) Respondent was voluntarily intoxicated;
1741	1741	13 (3) Petitioner acted in self-defense or defense of
1742	1742	14 another, provided that, if petitioner utilized force, such
1743	1743	15 force was justifiable under Article 7 of the Criminal Code
1744	1744	16 of 2012;
1745	1745	17 (4) Petitioner did not act in self-defense or defense
1746	1746	18 of another;
1747	1747	19 (5) Petitioner left the residence or household to
1748	1748	20 avoid further abuse, neglect, or exploitation by

1753	1753	25 (7) Conduct by any family or household member excused
1754	1754	26 the abuse, neglect, or exploitation by respondent, unless
