Getting a Protective Order in Arizona
If you think you may need a protective order in Arizona, it’s important that you first know exactly what that means. An Order of Protection falls under ARS 13-3602 in Arizona and is served for the purpose of restraining a person from committing an act of domestic violence or harassment against another person or group of people.
In most instances, petitions for orders of protection are first reviewed by a judge in Arizona, and most of the time, the judge will make his or her ruling on the same day. In Arizona, any court can both review a petition and issue an order of protection — but while you may be inclined to go to the court closest to you, an Arizona family law attorney with years of experience in orders of protection will have specific information on the court needed for your filing and if another active case, such as a divorce or child custody case, would require a specific court.

The Purpose of Order of Protection in AZ
In Arizona, an order of protection is a way to seek protection from someone with whom you have a domestic relationship now or previously. This person can be a member of your immediate family, or s/he may be a current or former spouse.
In most cases, outside of current or former spouses, orders of protection in Arizona are typically filed against:
-
- A person with whom you are having a romantic or sexual relationship
- A person whom you have a child in common with
- Another immediate relative, or the relative of a current or previous spouse
- Your parent, grandparent, in-law, or sibling
