Illinois

Me and my husband were having an argument on the stairs and our 6 year old daughter saw and called 911. My husband left before the cops came. Well I was very upset and very emotional and not really with it. The cop to came to our house and I told him what happened and he asked me what I wanted to do and I told him I just didn't want my husband to come back that night. So I singed this paper, he said he would be arrested and that would be it. Well my husband went to jail and had his bail set and they told him in writing he is not allowed to contact me in any way shape or form. Nor is he to have contact with our children. I didn't want it to go this far! His next court date is July 13th. I tried to drop the charges but Illinois has a no drop policy on domestic battery. How do we just get this to go away??
