Judge Megan Goldish has worked in the Circuit Court of Cook County in Chicago, Illinois, for 17 years. Judge Megan Goldish's responsibilities include hearing all domestic violence cases and issues, such as requests for orders of protection.
The courts generally issue orders of protection, also known as a restraining orders, to shield one party from situations where another person may inflict further harm on them. A court may issue a protective order to prevent domestic violence, child abuse, assault, sexual assault, harassment, or stalking. Aggrieved parties may file an order of protection at the Domestic Violence Courthouse in Chicago or other suburban municipal districts. If a person receives a protective order, they may find the location of the court, date and time of appearance, and courtroom number at the bottom of the order. Courts decide who is eligible for the receipt of the domestic protection order based on the nature of the parties' relationship. Judges primarily grant such orders to the aggrieved if their has been a violation of the Domestic Violence Act, or if the parties are likely to be in close contact i.e., a party bringing charges against another family member. Violating an order of protection may warrant misdemeanor or felony charges.
