Illinois Court Forms

Updated: 
November 8, 2023

You can find order of protection forms for any county on the Illinois Courts website.  You can find divorce, child support, and maintenance forms as well.  This page provides forms and information for filing an answer/response to a petition in a family law case. You can also find small claims court forms.

You also may be able to get the forms by calling or visiting the Clerk of Court at the courthouse in your area. Go to our IL Courthouse Locations page to find the court in your area.

Someone at a domestic violence organization in your area may also be able to help you find the forms and walk you through the process. To find a shelter or an advocate at a local program, please visit our IL Advocates and Shelters page.
