Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

If a judge grants a plenary order of protection and my lawyer files an appeal for the op within 30 days, what is the law in Illinois regarding my rights for that appeal. It has been five months and the judge has not even responded to the appeal. What is the time frame a judge can either grant or deny, and if denied at this point can it move to an appellate court with sufficient evidence? I have a lawyer but to be honest not too confident being 4,000 dollars into this and cant even get these basic questions answered.

The judge does not respond to the appeal. The other side to the OP is the party who is supposed to respond. And even if they do not the appellate court has to read the briefs and decide the appeal.
