An Order of Protection is a court order that is issued to stop a person from committing domestic violence or from contacting people protected by the order. AZPOINT will help you decide whether you and the person from whom you are seeking protection have a qualifying relationship for an Order of Protection. If you don't have a qualifying relationship for an Order of Protection, you may be eligible to apply for an Injunction Against Harassment. If you are an employer seeking protection of your business or your employees, you may apply for an Injunction Against Workplace Harassment.
You may also use AZPOINT if you're asking for protection on behalf of another person--either:
(1) a minor of whom you are the parent, guardian, or legal custodian or
(2) an adult who is temporarily or permanently unable to request an order.
NOTE: Protective Orders include: Orders of Protection, Injunctions Against Harassment and Injunctions Against Workplace Harassment and may be issued by any court in the state of Arizona.
Protective Orders may be obtained at the Sahuarita Municipal Court Monday through Friday, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Please contact the court before appearing to ensure Judge availability.
