Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Illinois

I have an order of Protection against me.

I did violate it by calling.

I have not been arrested for this, but can I have some issue with this when I go back to court

in 30 days?

This happened a few weeks back. A mistake on my part of course.

I was at the police station 2 days ago, to try and pick up some personal possesions at my residence.

The officer called my home and was willing to take me over (this is part of the order, that I can enter my residence with police present )but he was unable to contact the petitioner.

If I had a warrant against me would I not have been arrested by him than?

The petiitioner is my wife, and knows where I'm staying and where I work

How do I go about finding if I have been issued a warrant for this case?

If you want to surrender, go to the police station. She may not have claimed a criminal violation, but may go after you in civil court. You should seek counsel to defend the OP as it may have other ramnifications.
