FAQ
If you would like to request an Order of Protection, or an Injunction Against Harassment you may initiate your petition online by visiting the AZPOINT page, but you must appear in court to finish the process. You may also go to any court, including this court, to fill out and file a petition.
For the purposes of getting an order of protection, Arizona law defines “domestic violence” as the occurrence of one or more of the following acts: assault or aggravated assault, such as hitting or kicking you; threatening or intimidating you, as defined by law; sexual assault;
You may know them as restraining orders if you come from other states, but in Arizona they are called Orders of Protection and Injunctions Against Harassment. They are orders from a Court prohibiting a person from having contact with another person, protected minors, being in certain places, and possessing firearms.
The petitioner must show that the respondent has committed or may commit an act of domestic violence, which includes but is not limited to: Physical assault or harm. Threats or intimidation. Harassment or stalking. Sexual assault or abuse. Kidnapping or unlawful imprisonment. Criminal damage or trespassing.
A significant change in circumstances, such as improved behavior, completion of anger management or counseling programs, or evidence that the risk of violence has diminished, may provide grounds for seeking the dismissal of a restraining order.
The specific elements you need to prove to get a restraining order vary from state to state, but in general, you need to show: A specific instance or instances of abuse or harassment (such as sexual assault by an intimate partner) The threat of violence or of further abusive behavior or harassment.
If the judge decides that there was abuse and that there is also a credible threat to the plaintiff's safety, a final order of protection will be granted and will last for up to one year.
After the hearing, a judge can issue a protective order that lasts up to 18 months, and can later be renewed after a hearing in front of a judge. The parts of the protective order that tell the abuser to not abuse, harass, or interfere with you can last forever.
In most cases, you must have evidence to convince the judge that the person seeking a restraining order is in danger of harm. The danger or harm can include domestic violence, threats, criminal trespass, stalking, and harassment. An adult can file for a restraining order when they believe their safety is in danger.
