Currentness
(a) Mandated Forms. All courts and parties must use only those protective order forms adopted by the Arizona Supreme Court. Individual court identification information, including the name, address, and two assigned court identification numbers, must appear at the top of each form if indicated.
(1) Courts may make margin changes and print only those provisions that apply to the issued order. The first page of every protective order must contain the information in the same format and location as the mandated form.

The executive director is authorized by Arizona Code of Judicial Administration (ACJA) § 5-207 to approve or modify the forms in response to changes in state or federal laws or procedures and make necessary administrative amendments or corrections.
(b) No Charge for Forms. Courts must provide, without charge, all protective order forms, including any form mandated by ACJA § 5-207.
