Civil Protection Orders
Prepare Your Court Forms Online for Orders of Protection in Arizona
This website helps individuals understand the different types of protection orders and create the official court forms needed to request an Order of Protection in Arizona.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Take Screening
Start with an online screening tool to help you decide which restraining order fits your situation the best.
2. Prepare Documents
Instead of looking at the legal forms themselves, you will be guided through a series of detailed questionnaires. These will gather the necessary information topic by topic. The questions are in plain and non-legal language. To make this process as simple as possible, our system will then generate the official court forms with your responses printed on them.
3. Consult Advocate (Optional)
You can consult a victim advocate or pro bono (free) lawyer to get guidance on restraining orders. These resources are typically paid for by the government and can help you review your case documents and talk to you directly to discuss your case and safety planning.
4. File with the Clerk
You can formally begin the case by filing with your local court. You will be informed about which specific court you need to file at as it’s important to go to one that has jurisdiction over your case. You can file by either printing and visiting the clerk’s office at the court or in many locations online directly from this website.
TYPES OF PROTECTION ORDERS
Order of Protection
An Arizona Protection Order is for individuals who have been harmed, threatened, or harassed by a family or household member or a current or former intimate partner. It provides legal protection by requiring the other person to stop contact, stay away from you and specified locations, and follow court-ordered restrictions, with law enforcement able to act if the order is violated as defined in Arizona Revised Statutes § 13-3602.
Injunction Against Harassment
This court order is aimed at protecting individuals from harassment or threats by someone who isn’t a family member. This order prohibits contact and specific behaviors. (Arizona Revised Statutes § 12-1809)
Injunction Against Workplace Harassment
Only an employer can ask for an injunction against workplace harassment to protect an employee who has suffered stalking, serious harassment, violence, or a credible (real) threat of violence at the workplace. An employee cannot ask for this restraining order. (Arizona Revised Statutes § 12-1810)
Family
Divorce
Divorce in Arizona is a legal process for married individuals who want to end their marriage. This process helps eligible spouses without minor children together legally end their marriage, divide property and debts, request financial support from a spouse if applicable, and obtain a final divorce decree from the court, as provided under Arizona Revised Statutes, Title 25, Chapter 3 – Dissolution of Marriage.
Paternity
A Paternity case in Arizona is a legal process in Superior Court to establish the legal father of a child. These cases are often filed when the child’s parents are not married or when paternity needs to be legally confirmed.
