Quoted By:
>To get a restraining order in Arizona (known as a Protective Order or Injunction Against Harassment), you must file a petition with the court detailing the harassment or abuse, prove your claims by a "preponderance of the evidence," and have a judge issue the order. You can complete the petition online using the free Arizona Protective Order Initiation and Notification Tool (AZPOINT). The petition is then reviewed by a judge, who can issue the order on the same day.
Statement of Harassment
1. The perpetrator knowingly and repeatedly sent unsolicited sex toys to the victim’s residential address, despite the victim’s explicit instruction that all packages be directed to their designated P.O. box. This conduct disregarded the victim’s expressed wishes and continued after clear objections were made.
2. Over a period of years, the perpetrator has willfully circumvented communication blocks and other boundaries established by the victim, despite repeated and unequivocal statements from the victim that no further contact was wanted.
3. The perpetrator has engaged in projecting their sexual desires onto the victim as a means of excusing or rationalizing sexually harassing behavior.
4. The perpetrator has made explicit violent threats to injure and murder individuals within the victim’s social circle, causing the victim to fear for their own safety and the safety of others.
The examples you listed —
sending sexual items to your home after you set clear boundaries,
repeated attempts to circumvent blocks and continue unwanted contact for years,
sexual harassment,
explicit threats to harm or kill people close to you —
do fall squarely into the type of behavior Arizona courts take seriously when issuing an Order of Protection.
