An Arizona Preliminary Injunction (Divorce Or Legal Separation) is a court order issued by the court prior to final judgment or decree in a divorce or legal separation case. The purpose of the injunction is to provide immediate protection to either party involved in the family law matter. It is a temporary order that can be issued to protect a party from harm or to preserve the status quo until the final judgment is issued. There are two types of Arizona Preliminary Injunctions (Divorce Or Legal Separation): Domestic Violence Injunctions and General Injunctions. A Domestic Violence Injunction is a court order issued to protect a person from physical or emotional harm caused by a family or household member. This type of injunction is often issued when there is a history of domestic violence or threats of violence between the parties involved. A General Injunction is a court order issued to protect either party from harassment, abuse, or threats of harm from the other party. This type of injunction can also be used to prevent the transfer of marital assets or to prevent a party from taking the children from the state.
