AZPoint
AZPOINT, the Arizona Protective Order Initiation and Notification Tool, has been designed to help you fill out a petition for an Order of Protection. Through an interview in AZPOINT, you can quickly and accurately fill out the forms that are needed to request an Order of Protection at an Arizona court. An Order of Protection is a court order that is issued to stop a person from committing domestic violence or from contacting other people protected by the order. The portal will also help you figure out whether you (the plaintiff) and the person from whom you are seeking protection (the defendant) have a qualifying relationship for an Order of Protection. Your information will be saved in AZPOINT for up to 90 days. At any time during this 90-day period, you may take the next step of filing your petition at an Arizona court. Until you file your petition at a court, you will be able to return to AZPOINT to update your information if necessary. You are encouraged to speak to a victim advocate before you file your petition. An advocate can help you make a safety plan and give you more information about how an Order of Protection works and how it will be served on the defendant. For more information, click on the image.

Helpful Resources


The use of a licensed attorney to help you handle your case is suggested, as he or she can provide valuable knowledge and experience to assist you.

The forms can be printed and filed at the Superior Court in Santa Cruz County, 2160 North Congress Drive in Nogales, but you must change the court name on the forms from Maricopa to Santa Cruz before filing the forms with the Superior Court in Santa Cruz County.
