Phoenix Restraining Order Process

If a person is being abused, stalked or harassed he or she has the option of petitioning for a restraining order, order of protection or injunction against harassment. If this is approved, the defendant then has a chance to request an initial protective order hearing which will be held within 5 to 10 business days of the date the petition was filed. At this hearing, the judge will have the sole discretion to change or lift the restraining order.

A restraining order may be issued for one or more of the following reasons:

• Harassment
• Stalking
• Valid threats to the victim and/or his or her family
• Domestic violence
• Physical or sexual abuse or assault

If you have been served a Phoenix restraining order, it is important to contact a skilled attorney immediately and discuss your options and to request a hearing to have the order changed or lifted.
