Petition For Order To Show Cause

PETITION FOR ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE. This form is used in the State of Illinois Circuit Court to request judicial enforcement of a previous court order, typically involving payment obligations. The form is filed by a Creditor, who is alleging that the Debtor has failed to comply with a prior court order requiring regular payments. The petitioner outlines the original court order, specifies the payment schedule and amount, and then details how the debtor has not fulfilled that obligation—resulting in a delinquent balance owed. The purpose of the form is to ask the court to issue an Order to Show Cause, which compels the debtor to appear before the court and explain why they should not be held in contempt of court for failing to make the required payments. In addition to enforcement, the petitioner may also request a modification of the existing payment order to address the arrears and may seek any further relief the court deems appropriate. The form includes a verification statement signed under penalty of perjury, and contact information for the petitioner or their attorney. www.FormsWorkflow.com
