Motion To Extend Or Modify Plenary Order Of Protection

MOTION TO EXTEND OR MODIFY PLENARY ORDER OF PROTECTION. This form is used in Champaign County, Illinois, when a petitioner wants to continue or change the terms of an existing Plenary Order of Protection. A plenary order is a long-term protective order, typically granted after a hearing, that restricts or prohibits contact between the respondent and the petitioner to ensure the petitioner’s safety. Since circumstances may change after the order is entered, this form allows the petitioner to formally request the court either to extend the duration of the order or to modify its terms to better meet current needs. Through this form, the petitioner must provide the date of the original plenary order, explain any changes in circumstances that justify the extension or modification, and state whether the motion is contested. The petitioner must also detail the reasons for requesting the change and specify exactly what modifications are being sought. Once completed, the petitioner asks the court to schedule a hearing, where a judge will decide whether to grant the extension or modification. www.FormsWorkflow.com
