Illinois Court-Ordered Domestic Violence Requirements
Illinois courts order domestic violence under the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS). Common charges include Battery (720 ILCS 5/12-3), Assault (720 ILCS 5/12-1), Aggravated Battery (720 ILCS 5/12-3.05), Domestic Battery (720 ILCS 5/12-3.2), and Disorderly Conduct (720 ILCS 5/26-1).
Cook County (Chicago) handles a very high volume of domestic violence cases. The Domestic Violence Division of Cook County Circuit Court has specific requirements for DV cases that may differ from general domestic violence. For DV convictions under 720 ILCS 5/12-3.2, courts may order a Partner Abuse Intervention Program (PAIP) rather than domestic violence.
Illinois judges have broad discretion to order domestic violence as a condition of probation or supervision. The duration is set by the judge, typically ranging from 8 to 26 hours.
