Protective Orders in Arizona include an Order of Protection, an Injunction Against Harassment, and an Injunction Against Workplace Harassment.

Typically the most efficient way to apply for any of these is to use AZPOINT, the Arizona Protective Order Initiation and Notification Tool.

The AZPOINT portal is connected to all courts in the State. It allows you to log in, create an account and fill out all the paperwork online. Your information will be stored for 90 days so you may revisit it any time to complete unfinished sections of the petition. Then you will get an ID number which you can take to any court to have your petition heard. Many courts will also hold the hearing virtually - by phone or computer as well.

If you wish to download the paperwork and take it into a court yourself, here are the relevant links: 

Generic Forms for Use in Any Arizona Court (takes you to the AZPOINT site)

IMPORTANT: Garnishment procedures are governed by Arizona law and are extremely complicated. It is advised that parties receive legal advice.

There are generally three parties to a garnishment proceeding:

  • Judgment Creditor: a person or entity who has been granted a money judgment
  • Judgment Debtor: a person or entity who owes a money judgment
  • Garnishee: a person or entity holding money or property belonging to a judgment debtor

Garnishment is a process that helps the creditor collect on the judgment by accessing money or property that belongs to the debtor, but is currently held by the garnishee. 

There are two types of garnishment proceedings:

  • Garnishment of earnings (wages the debtor is earning at a job)
  • Garnishment of non-earnings (such as bank accounts, etc.)

Our "How-To" packets should provide all that you need. Some garnishment cases may have special circumstances which need forms that are not included in the packets. Please contact a court to receive what you need.

Make sure to download the correct packet or form for your type of garnishment case:

All case types except for Small Claims may be appealed. Some, such as evictions, have very tight deadlines. In the event you do not complete your part of the appeal in time, it may be considered abandoned and dismissed.

Arizona voters passed Proposition 207 in November, 2020. Among its provisions is the ability to petition a court at no cost to expunge certain marijuana-related records. Please ensure you have read the information on our Prop 207 web page before using this form to begin the process.

There is a court cost for filing many, but not all, of the forms above.

We know there are hardships which limit any individual's source of funds. There are times when court filing fees may be deferred or waived. A deferral puts off the costs to be paid for filing until after the case is resolved. A waiver removes the costs involved.

Persons who are unable to pay court filing fees may apply for a waiver or deferral. Court policies for fee deferral and waiver applications are listed in section 5-206 of the Arizona Code of Judicial Administration. 

IMPORTANT: You must speak with a court clerk before submitting your application.

We know not everyone can pay off a court balance in full at one time. 

We offer time payment plans that let you pay what you can afford on a schedule that works for you. 

Please visit our "I Want To --> Make a Payment" page to get the payment plan application and related information.
