Domestic Violence

When domestic violence happens, the casualty may document a appeal for an alignment of defence in the better or fairness court. A.R.S. § 13-3602. However, if a end wedding ceremony is in advancement, the alignment of defence should be got through the better court in which the end wedding ceremony is pending. Once the casualty gets an alignment or injunction, he or she should assist the alignment or injunction on the other party. The other party then has the right to demand a hearing on the alignment or injunction. If the other party demands a hearing, then the casualty will be notified in order that he or she can appear. If the casualty does not emerge, the alignment or injunction will be dismissed. Hearings are only set in those situations where the defendant demands a hearing. A defendant can demand a hearing any time throughout the six months that the alignment or injunction is in effect. So, it is very significant that the court have a present address and if likely, a present telephone numbers. (FERRARO 1992)

The legislature has mandated that both Pima and Maricopa County have a referee on call for evenings and weekends to topic Emergency Orders of Protection (EOP). A.R.S. § 13-3624. Other shires or enclosures may voluntarily provide this service. The EOP pattern is provided by the Superior Court for use by a law enforcement officer. (BUZAWA 1992) Once the Sheriff's Office is contacted by the law enforcement agent, the call will be moved to the referee on call. The referee will inquire the law enforcement agent to condense the events. Again, only certain connections and misdeeds qualify. They are recorded in A.R.S. § 13-3601. Once the referee states topic the alignment, the agent should inquire three more questions:  Is the referee allocating exclusive use of the dwelling, are other persons being encompassed for defence by the alignment, and are firearms being prohibited.
