Motion To Extend Or Modify Emergency-Interim Order Of Protection

MOTION TO EXTEND OR MODIFY EMERGENCY; INTERIM ORDER OF PROTECTION. This form is used in Champaign County, Illinois, when a petitioner seeks to either continue or make changes to an existing protective order issued by the court. An Emergency Order of Protection or an Interim Order of Protection is initially granted to provide immediate safety for someone experiencing abuse, threats, or harassment. Because these orders are temporary, a petitioner may need to request that the order be extended for a longer period or modified to better address changing circumstances. This form allows the petitioner to explain why an extension is needed or what modifications should be made. For example, the petitioner may note a change in circumstances since the original order—such as new incidents of abuse, violations of the order, or additional safety concerns—that justify altering or continuing the protections. The form also requires the petitioner to indicate whether the request is contested, provide details about the requested changes, and formally ask the court to schedule a hearing on the matter. www.FormsWorkflow.com
