How Domestic Violence Affects Family Law Cases

Understanding Protective Orders in Arizona
Protective orders are designed to prevent continued harassment, threats, or violence. In Arizona, these include Orders of Protection and Injunctions Against Harassment. A protective order can restrict contact, remove an individual from the home, and create immediate safety boundaries. Our firm assists with filing, evidence preparation, and contested hearings if the other party requests a review.

Can I file a protective order even if the police were not involved?
Yes. A police report is not required. You can request a protective order directly through the court by explaining the incidents that caused you to feel unsafe.

It often does. The court will consider domestic violence when determining parenting time and legal decision making. Safety for the child and parent is the priority.
How long does a protective order last?
