A Cook County, Illinois resident, Judge Megan Goldish graduated from the Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law, and currently serves at the Circuit Court of Cook County. With over 20 years of experience in legal practice, Judge Megan Goldish oversees domestic violence cases and helps individuals obtain restraining orders.
Restraining orders are documents that forbid a particular person from contacting or staying too close to another person for behavioral reasons. Restraining orders are typically issued for domestic violence or relentless stalking if a person begins to worry about their safety and health. Additional reasons include stopping the abuser from harming a person, preventing them from seeing the person they are abusing, or even obtaining financial support from the abuser, such as child support. To obtain a restraining order, a person has to complete a court form, file it to the court and deliver it to the restrained person. The court form contains basic information such as the name of the aggressor and the victim, their relationship, addresses, as well as the reason for the petition. After that, the court starts a series of hearings in which it will decide whether or not to grant the restraining order.
