The law in Illinois provides that an order of protection can last for up to two years. This is called a plenary order.
A plenary order of protection comes about when the respondent was served by the sheriff with a petition for an emergency order of protection alleging abuse or harassment. In these cases, the respondent must be given an opportunity to be heard in court.
Once a plenary order is put into place by the court, it will remain in place for the full timeline. The only way it can be removed during the two-year period is if the petitioner agrees to vacate the order. #plenaryorderofprotection,
