if a petition for visitation was filed a hearing was held but the respondent avoided being served and the law master gave the petitioner 120 days to locate her how does the petitioner get the process server to reserve the respondent ?

If the respondent does not want to be served, it is really not up to the petitioner to locate him. What the court wants is a concerted effort in locating the respondent so that later the respondent cannot say that no effort was made. Keep a journal of your efforts to show the court. Make an entry for every phone call, every address check, every mutual friend you talk to, every possible employer you contact, etc. You can relay this information then to the court as you learn about the individual's whereabouts, but it probably will not result in the individual being served.


What if the person who puts a no contact order on someone breaks the no contact order?

Only the petitioner (the person whom requested the restraining order) is protected by the law. The protected person cannot be charged with a violation of the restraining order. However, if the protected person is harrassing the restrained person, the restrained person can file for a termination of the order based on a lack of "fear" from the protected person, showing proof of the harrassment.


Reasons people get served papers?

Service of "papers" probably refers to legal documents advising a person of some court date or court action. Not all things you can get served with involve a response from you, but may simply be the advisement of the action and your options under the law. The "service" itself is a specific legal step and under some circumstances the person who performed the service may have to testify that it was done, for instance, in a divorce wherein you decided to stay home and not appear, the other party can move that the court proceed without you being present, since you were served with the papers and chose not to appear. The server may be calld upon to make a statement under oath that the papers were served.

Are there any laws in Illinois that will protect respondent when the petitioner in an order of protection contacts the respondent and petitioner also violates original divorce decree?

Question is not really worded clearly. However - the same order that prevents the respondant from contacting the petitioner also protects the respondant from being contacted by the petitioner. THey are in equal violation and can be sanctioned by the court that issued the order. The petitioner can NOT contact and harass the respondant just because the petitioner thinks they are 'protected.' However, even if the petitioner can be proven to be violating the divorce decree that is a separate issue from the protection order which will have to be handled as a contempt matter.

In cases that reach the Supreme Court on certiorari does the Petitioner bring the case against the Respondent?

Yes. The Petitioner (or Appellant) brings his or her case against the Respondent (or Appellee). The Petitioner is the one who files a petition for a writ of certiorari.Usually, this means the Petitioner lost in the intermediate Court of Appeals, but there have been occasional instances where the winning party files first, in anticipation of the decision being challenged. This strategy is sometimes employed because the Petitioner gets to present his (or her) case first, and may reserve a portion of his allotted 30 minutes for rebuttal after the Respondent has argued. Having an opportunity to rebut the opponent's argument can present a significant advantage.
