Who can file a stalking no contact order?
You can file for a stalking no contact order if you are:
- a victim of stalking;
- filing for a child who is being stalked;
- filing for an adult who is being stalked and cannot file on their own because of age, disability, health problems, or because they cannot get to court (inaccessibility);
- an “authorized agent,” allowed to act for a place of employment, place of worship, or school;
- a stalking victim who is in the Illinois National Guard or a military reserve unit serving in Illinois and already has a military protective order (MPO); or
- the Staff Judge Advocate of the Illinois National Guard or a military reserve unit serving in Illinois, filing for a stalking victim who already has an MPO. The stalking victim must agree (consent).1
Note: You can only get a stalking no contact order if you don’t qualify for a domestic violence order of protection. If you can get a domestic violence order of protection, file for that order instead.
