Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

Restraining order

My daughters ex-husband's girlfriend (who he has lived with for 1.5 yrs and they have a 11 month old baby) filed a restraining order against him. Is it possible for my daughter to find out why the restraining order was filed as her ex- has weekend visitations? Is my grandchild at risk? Her ex husband has a ''unreported'' history of verbal abuse and tried to strangle my daughter once. She won't tell me what else he had done. How would she get that information?
