If one parent's violent or abusive behavior endangers a child, the other parent may file for an Emergency Order of Protection. The order keeps the child away from the dangerous parent until safeguarding can be put in place by the court. Unfortunately, some parents use the Emergency Order of Protection to make it look as though the other parent is dangerous, believing this will make the judge award sole allocation to the filing parent. Whether you need an Emergency Order of Protection to safeguard your child or you need to fight an Emergency Order of Protection that was filed improperly, an experienced Illinois lawyer will establish the facts and protect your rights and interests in court.
