11 not affect title to real property, nor shall the court be

12 limited by the standard set forth in Section 701 of the

13 Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act.

14 (A) Right to occupancy. A party has a right to

15 occupancy of a residence or household if it is solely

16 or jointly owned or leased by that party, that party's

17 spouse, a person with a legal duty to support that

18 party or a minor child in that party's care, or by any

19 person or entity other than the opposing party that

20 authorizes that party's occupancy (e.g., a domestic

21 violence shelter). Standards set forth in subparagraph

22 (B) shall not preclude equitable relief.

23 (B) Presumption of hardships. If petitioner and

24 respondent each has the right to occupancy of a

25 residence or household, the court shall balance (i) the

26 hardships to respondent and any minor child or

09800SB2335ham002

- 145 -

LRB098 07039 MRW 46774 a

1 dependent adult in respondent's care resulting from

2 entry of this remedy with (ii) the hardships to

3 petitioner and any minor child or dependent adult in

4 petitioner's care resulting from continued exposure to

5 the risk of abuse (should petitioner remain at the

6 residence or household) or from loss of possession of

7 the residence or household (should petitioner leave to

8 avoid the risk of abuse). When determining the balance

9 of hardships, the court shall also take into account

10 the accessibility of the residence or household.

11 Hardships need not be balanced if respondent does not

12 have a right to occupancy.

13 The balance of hardships is presumed to favor

14 possession by petitioner unless the presumption is

15 rebutted by a preponderance of the evidence, showing

16 that the hardships to respondent substantially

17 outweigh the hardships to petitioner and any minor

18 child or dependent adult in petitioner's care. The

19 court, on the request of petitioner or on its own

20 motion, may order respondent to provide suitable,

21 accessible, alternate housing for petitioner instead

22 of excluding respondent from a mutual residence or

23 household.

24 (3) Stay away order and additional prohibitions. Order

25 respondent to stay away from petitioner or any other person

26 protected by the order of protection, or prohibit

09800SB2335ham002

- 146 -

LRB098 07039 MRW 46774 a

1 respondent from entering or remaining present at

2 petitioner's school, place of employment, or other

3 specified places at times when petitioner is present, or

4 both, if reasonable, given the balance of hardships.

5 Hardships need not be balanced for the court to enter a

6 stay away order or prohibit entry if respondent has no

7 right to enter the premises.

8 If an order of protection grants petitioner exclusive

9 possession of the residence, or prohibits respondent from

10 entering the residence, or orders respondent to stay away

11 from petitioner or other protected persons, then the court

12 may allow respondent access to the residence to remove

13 items of clothing and personal adornment used exclusively

14 by respondent, medications, and other items as the court

15 directs. The right to access shall be exercised on only one

16 occasion as the court directs and in the presence of an

17 agreed-upon adult third party or law enforcement officer.

18 (4) Counseling. Require or recommend the respondent to

19 undergo counseling for a specified duration with a social

20 worker, psychologist, clinical psychologist, psychiatrist,

21 family service agency, alcohol or substance abuse program,

22 mental health center guidance counselor, agency providing

23 services to elders, program designed for domestic violence

24 abusers or any other guidance service the court deems

25 appropriate. The court may order the respondent in any

26 intimate partner relationship to report to an Illinois

09800SB2335ham002

- 147 -

LRB098 07039 MRW 46774 a

1 Department of Human Services protocol approved partner

2 abuse intervention program for an assessment and to follow

3 all recommended treatment.

4 (5) Physical care and possession of the minor child. In

5 order to protect the minor child from abuse, neglect, or

6 unwarranted separation from the person who has been the

7 minor child's primary caretaker, or to otherwise protect

8 the well-being of the minor child, the court may do either

9 or both of the following: (i) grant petitioner physical

10 care or possession of the minor child, or both, or (ii)

11 order respondent to return a minor child to, or not remove

12 a minor child from, the physical care of a parent or person

13 in loco parentis.

14 If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has

15 committed abuse (as defined in Section 112A-3) of a minor

16 child, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that

17 awarding physical care to respondent would not be in the

18 minor child's best interest.

19 (6) Temporary legal custody. Award temporary legal

20 custody to petitioner in accordance with this Section, the

21 Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, the

22 Illinois Parentage Act of 1984, and this State's Uniform

23 Child-Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act.

24 If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has

25 committed abuse (as defined in Section 112A-3) of a minor

26 child, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that

09800SB2335ham002

- 148 -

LRB098 07039 MRW 46774 a

1 awarding temporary legal custody to respondent would not be

2 in the child's best interest.

3 (7) Visitation. Determine the visitation rights, if

4 any, of respondent in any case in which the court awards

5 physical care or temporary legal custody of a minor child

6 to petitioner. The court shall restrict or deny

7 respondent's visitation with a minor child if the court

8 finds that respondent has done or is likely to do any of

9 the following: (i) abuse or endanger the minor child during

10 visitation; (ii) use the visitation as an opportunity to

11 abuse or harass petitioner or petitioner's family or

12 household members; (iii) improperly conceal or detain the

13 minor child; or (iv) otherwise act in a manner that is not

14 in the best interests of the minor child. The court shall

15 not be limited by the standards set forth in Section 607.1

16 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act.

17 If the court grants visitation, the order shall specify

18 dates and times for the visitation to take place or other

19 specific parameters or conditions that are appropriate. No

20 order for visitation shall refer merely to the term

21 "reasonable visitation".

22 Petitioner may deny respondent access to the minor

23 child if, when respondent arrives for visitation,

24 respondent is under the influence of drugs or alcohol and

25 constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being of

26 petitioner or petitioner's minor children or is behaving in

09800SB2335ham002

- 149 -

LRB098 07039 MRW 46774 a

1 a violent or abusive manner.

2 If necessary to protect any member of petitioner's

3 family or household from future abuse, respondent shall be

4 prohibited from coming to petitioner's residence to meet

5 the minor child for visitation, and the parties shall

6 submit to the court their recommendations for reasonable

7 alternative arrangements for visitation. A person may be

8 approved to supervise visitation only after filing an

9 affidavit accepting that responsibility and acknowledging

10 accountability to the court.

11 (8) Removal or concealment of minor child. Prohibit

12 respondent from removing a minor child from the State or

13 concealing the child within the State.

14 (9) Order to appear. Order the respondent to appear in

15 court, alone or with a minor child, to prevent abuse,

16 neglect, removal or concealment of the child, to return the

17 child to the custody or care of the petitioner or to permit

18 any court-ordered interview or examination of the child or

19 the respondent.

20 (10) Possession of personal property. Grant petitioner

21 exclusive possession of personal property and, if

22 respondent has possession or control, direct respondent to

23 promptly make it available to petitioner, if:

24 (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the

25 property; or

26 (ii) the parties own the property jointly; sharing

09800SB2335ham002

- 150 -

LRB098 07039 MRW 46774 a

1 it would risk abuse of petitioner by respondent or is

2 impracticable; and the balance of hardships favors

3 temporary possession by petitioner.

4 If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the property

5 is that it is marital property, the court may award

6 petitioner temporary possession thereof under the

7 standards of subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph only if a

8 proper proceeding has been filed under the Illinois

9 Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as now or

10 hereafter amended.

11 No order under this provision shall affect title to

12 property.

13 (11) Protection of property. Forbid the respondent

14 from taking, transferring, encumbering, concealing,

15 damaging or otherwise disposing of any real or personal

16 property, except as explicitly authorized by the court, if:

17 (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the

18 property; or

19 (ii) the parties own the property jointly, and the

20 balance of hardships favors granting this remedy.

21 If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the property

22 is that it is marital property, the court may grant

23 petitioner relief under subparagraph (ii) of this

24 paragraph only if a proper proceeding has been filed under

25 the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as

26 now or hereafter amended.

09800SB2335ham002

- 151 -

LRB098 07039 MRW 46774 a

1 The court may further prohibit respondent from

2 improperly using the financial or other resources of an

3 aged member of the family or household for the profit or

4 advantage of respondent or of any other person.

5 (11.5) Protection of animals. Grant the petitioner the

6 exclusive care, custody, or control of any animal owned,

7 possessed, leased, kept, or held by either the petitioner

8 or the respondent or a minor child residing in the

9 residence or household of either the petitioner or the

10 respondent and order the respondent to stay away from the

11 animal and forbid the respondent from taking,

12 transferring, encumbering, concealing, harming, or

13 otherwise disposing of the animal.

14 (12) Order for payment of support. Order respondent to

15 pay temporary support for the petitioner or any child in

16 the petitioner's care or custody, when the respondent has a

17 legal obligation to support that person, in accordance with

18 the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act,

19 which shall govern, among other matters, the amount of

20 support, payment through the clerk and withholding of

21 income to secure payment. An order for child support may be

22 granted to a petitioner with lawful physical care or

23 custody of a child, or an order or agreement for physical

24 care or custody, prior to entry of an order for legal

25 custody. Such a support order shall expire upon entry of a

26 valid order granting legal custody to another, unless

09800SB2335ham002

LRB098 07039 MRW 46774 a

1 otherwise provided in the custody order.

2 (13) Order for payment of losses. Order respondent to

3 pay petitioner for losses suffered as a direct result of

4 the abuse. Such losses shall include, but not be limited

5 to, medical expenses, lost earnings or other support,

6 repair or replacement of property damaged or taken,

7 reasonable attorney's fees, court costs and moving or other

8 travel expenses, including additional reasonable expenses

9 for temporary shelter and restaurant meals.

10 (i) Losses affecting family needs. If a party is

11 entitled to seek maintenance, child support or

12 property distribution from the other party under the

13 Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as

14 now or hereafter amended, the court may order

15 respondent to reimburse petitioner's actual losses, to

16 the extent that such reimbursement would be

17 "appropriate temporary relief", as authorized by

18 subsection (a)(3) of Section 501 of that Act.

19 (ii) Recovery of expenses. In the case of an

20 improper concealment or removal of a minor child, the

21 court may order respondent to pay the reasonable

22 expenses incurred or to be incurred in the search for

23 and recovery of the minor child, including but not

24 limited to legal fees, court costs, private

25 investigator fees, and travel costs.

26 (14) Prohibition of entry. Prohibit the respondent

2 while the respondent is under the influence of alcohol or

3 drugs and constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being

4 of the petitioner or the petitioner's children.

5 (14.5) Prohibition of firearm possession.

6 (A) A person who is subject to an existing order of

7 protection, interim order of protection, emergency

8 order of protection, or plenary order of protection,

9 issued under this Code may not lawfully possess weapons

10 under Section 8.2 of the Firearm Owners Identification

11 Card Act. ~~(a) Prohibit a respondent against whom an~~

12 ~~order of protection was issued from possessing any~~

13 ~~firearms during the duration of the order if the order:~~

14 ~~(1) was issued after a hearing of which such~~

15 ~~person received actual notice, and at which such~~

3 ~~reasonably be expected to cause bodily injury.~~

4 (B)Any firearms in the possession of the respondent,

5 except as provided in subparagraph (C) of this

6 paragraph (14.5) ~~subsection (b)~~, shall be ordered by

7 the court to be turned over toa person with a valid

8 Firearm Owner's Identification Card ~~the local law~~

9 ~~enforcement agency~~ for safekeeping. The court shall

10 issue an order that the respondent's Firearm Owner's

11 Identification Card be turned over to the local law

12 enforcement agency, which in turn shall immediately

13 mail the card to the Department of State Police Firearm

14 Owner's Identification Card Office for safekeeping.

15 The period of safekeeping shall be for the duration of

16 the order of protection. The firearm or firearms and

17 Firearm Owner's Identification Card, if unexpired,

18 shall at the respondent's request be returned to the

19 respondent at expiration of the order of protection.

20 (C) ~~(b)~~ If the respondent is a peace officer as

21 defined in Section 2-13 of the Criminal Code of 2012,

22 the court shall order that any firearms used by the

23 respondent in the performance of his or her duties as a

24 peace officer be surrendered to the chief law

18 protection prohibits respondent from having contact with

19 the minor child, or if petitioner's address is omitted

20 under subsection (b) of Section 112A-5, or if necessary to

21 prevent abuse or wrongful removal or concealment of a minor

22 child, the order shall deny respondent access to, and

23 prohibit respondent from inspecting, obtaining, or

24 attempting to inspect or obtain, school or any other

2 respondent to reimburse a shelter providing temporary

3 housing and counseling services to the petitioner for the

4 cost of the services, as certified by the shelter and

5 deemed reasonable by the court.

6 (17) Order for injunctive relief. Enter injunctive

7 relief necessary or appropriate to prevent further abuse of

8 a family or household member or to effectuate one of the

9 granted remedies, if supported by the balance of hardships.

10 If the harm to be prevented by the injunction is abuse or

11 any other harm that one of the remedies listed in

12 paragraphs (1) through (16) of this subsection is designed

13 to prevent, no further evidence is necessary to establish

14 that the harm is an irreparable injury.

15 (c) Relevant factors; findings.

16 (1) In determining whether to grant a specific remedy,

17 other than payment of support, the court shall consider

18 relevant factors, including but not limited to the

19 following:

20 (i) the nature, frequency, severity, pattern and

21 consequences of the respondent's past abuse of the

22 petitioner or any family or household member,

23 including the concealment of his or her location in

24 order to evade service of process or notice, and the

25 likelihood of danger of future abuse to petitioner or

26 any member of petitioner's or respondent's family or

09800SB2335ham002

- 157 -

LRB098 07039 MRW 46774 a

1 household; and

2 (ii) the danger that any minor child will be abused

3 or neglected or improperly removed from the

4 jurisdiction, improperly concealed within the State or

5 improperly separated from the child's primary

6 caretaker.

7 (2) In comparing relative hardships resulting to the

8 parties from loss of possession of the family home, the

9 court shall consider relevant factors, including but not

10 limited to the following:

11 (i) availability, accessibility, cost, safety,

12 adequacy, location and other characteristics of

13 alternate housing for each party and any minor child or

14 dependent adult in the party's care;

15 (ii) the effect on the party's employment; and

16 (iii) the effect on the relationship of the party,

17 and any minor child or dependent adult in the party's

18 care, to family, school, church and community.

19 (3) Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph

20 (4) of this subsection, the court shall make its findings

21 in an official record or in writing, and shall at a minimum

22 set forth the following:

23 (i) That the court has considered the applicable

24 relevant factors described in paragraphs (1) and (2) of

25 this subsection.

26 (ii) Whether the conduct or actions of respondent,

09800SB2335ham002

- 158 -

LRB098 07039 MRW 46774 a

1 unless prohibited, will likely cause irreparable harm

2 or continued abuse.

3 (iii) Whether it is necessary to grant the

4 requested relief in order to protect petitioner or

5 other alleged abused persons.

6 (4) For purposes of issuing an ex parte emergency order

7 of protection, the court, as an alternative to or as a

8 supplement to making the findings described in paragraphs

9 (c)(3)(i) through (c)(3)(iii) of this subsection, may use

10 the following procedure:

11 When a verified petition for an emergency order of

12 protection in accordance with the requirements of Sections

13 112A-5 and 112A-17 is presented to the court, the court

14 shall examine petitioner on oath or affirmation. An

15 emergency order of protection shall be issued by the court

16 if it appears from the contents of the petition and the

17 examination of petitioner that the averments are

18 sufficient to indicate abuse by respondent and to support

19 the granting of relief under the issuance of the emergency

20 order of protection.

21 (5) Never married parties. No rights or

22 responsibilities for a minor child born outside of marriage

23 attach to a putative father until a father and child

24 relationship has been established under the Illinois

25 Parentage Act of 1984. Absent such an adjudication, no

26 putative father shall be granted temporary custody of the

09800SB2335ham002

- 159 -

LRB098 07039 MRW 46774 a

1 minor child, visitation with the minor child, or physical

2 care and possession of the minor child, nor shall an order

3 of payment for support of the minor child be entered.

4 (d) Balance of hardships; findings. If the court finds that

5 the balance of hardships does not support the granting of a

6 remedy governed by paragraph (2), (3), (10), (11), or (16) of

7 subsection (b) of this Section, which may require such

8 balancing, the court's findings shall so indicate and shall

9 include a finding as to whether granting the remedy will result

10 in hardship to respondent that would substantially outweigh the

11 hardship to petitioner from denial of the remedy. The findings

12 shall be an official record or in writing.

13 (e) Denial of remedies. Denial of any remedy shall not be

14 based, in whole or in part, on evidence that:

15 (1) Respondent has cause for any use of force, unless

16 that cause satisfies the standards for justifiable use of

17 force provided by Article 7 of the Criminal Code of 2012;

18 (2) Respondent was voluntarily intoxicated;

19 (3) Petitioner acted in self-defense or defense of

20 another, provided that, if petitioner utilized force, such

21 force was justifiable under Article 7 of the Criminal Code

22 of 2012;

23 (4) Petitioner did not act in self-defense or defense

24 of another;

25 (5) Petitioner left the residence or household to avoid

26 further abuse by respondent;

09800SB2335ham002

LRB098 07039 MRW 46774 a

1 (6) Petitioner did not leave the residence or household

2 to avoid further abuse by respondent;

3 (7) Conduct by any family or household member excused

4 the abuse by respondent, unless that same conduct would

5 have excused such abuse if the parties had not been family

6 or household members.
