With more than 20 years of Illinois family law experience, Donald Cosley has helped a significant number of clients remain safe from physical and emotional assault by helping them obtain agreed or contested orders of protection and no contact orders.

Under Illinois law, there are four primary categories of domestic violence, including:

• Physical abuse: Any kind of unwanted contact or behavior intended to inflict pain or injury to a spouse or other person in a relationship may be charged as a degree of misdemeanor or felony domestic battery. This can include sexual abuse, physical force or confinement, and sleep deprivation.
• Harassment: Your spouse or person with whom you have shared a relationship may engage in deliberate contact with the intent of causing you emotional distress, including acts such as disturbances at your place of work, repeated telephone calls, stalking, threatening physical force, or improperly hiding your custodial child or threatening to do so.
• Intimidation of a dependent: A person may cause or threaten emotional harm to another by frightening, intimidating or assaulting his or her child or family member.
• Interfering with personal liberty: This includes depriving you of food or medicine necessary for your health and well-being, intimidating you to prevent you from leaving your residence or engaging in any act in an attempt to coerce you into acting according to their wishes.

No matter where you are in the process of divorce or dissolution of your domestic relationship, you deserve to know that the law is there to protect you from domestic violence. Our firm has experience representing clients in all types of domestic relations issues, including:

• Domestic battery
• Sexual assault, rape
• Child abuse
