Phoenix Restraining Orders | Lawyers and Attorneys in Arizona
Phoenix Restraining Order Process
A restraining order, order of protection or injunction against harassment can be petitioned if a person is being abused, stalked or harassed. The Arizona court will issue a Phoenix restraining order, order of protection, or an injunction against harassment as a means of protection for Phoenix victims of abuse, harassment or stalking. Restraining orders are commonly issued during or after a case of domestic violence, wherein a spouse or family member has abused or harassed a person they reside with. Phoenix retraining orders are commonly issued for one or more of the following reasons:
- Domestic violence
- Harassment
- Physical or sexual abuse or assault
- Stalking
- Valid threats to the victim and/or his or her family
In the event an Arizona court has approved and issued a Phoenix restraining order, the defendant has the right to request an initial protective order hearing that will be held within five (5) to ten (10) business days from the date the petition was filed. The judge will have sole discretion to change or lift the Phoenix restraining order at this hearing.
