November 2024

In our Illinois Stalking No Contact Orders section, we revised Who is eligible for a stalking no contact order? to include that the following additional people can file a petition:

  • a victim of stalking who is a service member of the Illinois National Guard or any reserve military component serving in Illinois who already has a military protective order (MPO); or
  • the Staff Judge Advocate of the Illinois National Guard or any reserve military component serving in Illinois who is filing on behalf of a victim of stalking who already has a military protective order (MPO). However, the stalking victim must agree (consent) to a petition being filed by the Staff Judge Advocate.

The revision is based on a law that took effect in July 2023; we regret the delay in updating this information. (Spanish soon to come.)
