The correct answer is: Illinois Domestic Violence Act

The correct answer is D. Illinois Domestic Violence Act. This act allows for victims of abuse or neglect by family members or high-risk adults to seek orders of protection. The Illinois Domestic Violence Act provides legal recourse and protection for individuals experiencing domestic violence or abuse. It outlines the procedures and protections available to victims seeking assistance and safety from their abusers. Regarding the other options: A. Probate Act - The Probate Act pertains to matters related to the distribution of a deceased person's estate and guardianship issues, rather than orders of protection for abuse or neglect. B. Consent Decrees - Consent decrees are legal agreements between parties in a case, typically settling a dispute without admission of guilt and are not specific to orders of protection. C. Aristotle P V. McDonald - This option does not relate to any specific law or act in Illinois pertaining to orders of protection against individuals inflicting abuse or neglect on family members or high-risk adults.
