One of the most urgent and emotional questions parents ask is, “Can I protect my kids?” Arizona law
allows courts to act before a child is harmed when there are credible safety concerns.
Arizona courts prioritize the best interests of the child. Children may be included on an Order of
Protection when domestic violence occurred in their presence, the child was threatened, or the
behavior places the child at risk.
An Order of Protection may restrict contact, suspend parenting time, require supervision, prohibit
proximity to schools, or remove an abusive parent from the home. Physical injury is not required;
credible sworn testimony is often sufficient.
Courts may also use temporary custody orders, supervised visitation, no-contact orders, and
emergency temporary orders to protect children. Parents should not wait for harm to occur.
