[IL] What do I do if the parent of my child filed an emergency protection order against me?

I was fleeing domestic violence and was working with the police department and their social worker. They brought me emergency order of protection paperwork. The abuser found out about my engagement with law enforcement and called off work that following Monday morning. He went to the courthouse and filed an emergency protection order against me, naming our one-year-old daughter in his petition. This forced me and my two sons, aged 9 and 3, to leave our home immediately. I wasn’t able to take my daughter with me. I need help.
