§ 5-207 Orders of Protection and Injunctions Against Harassment

All Arizona courts must use only those forms approved by the administrative director in matters concerning domestic violence orders of protection, injunctions against harassment, and injunctions against workplace harassment. Individual court identification information (name, address, and two assigned court identification numbers) must appear at the top of each form, except for the plaintiff’s guide sheet and the defendant’s guide sheet. Courts may make technical formatting changes (for example, number of pages, line and margin spacing, and font size), use multi-part, carbonless paper, and develop non-English translations. Any other proposed alterations to or deviations from the approved forms, including any text changes, must be submitted to the administrative director for approval prior to use. The supreme court authorizes the administrative director to approve or modify the forms in response to changes in state or federal laws or procedures and make other necessary administrative amendments or corrections. The approved forms are available on the Judiciary Branch website and the AJINweb network. Adopted by Administrative Order 2001-86, effective August 9, 2001. Amended by Administrative Order 2016-132 effective December 21, 2016.
