Visit the AZPoint website to file a petition for a protective order, protective orders can be filed in any court in Arizona. In a criminal case, the Judge can only hear the facts of the case when both sides are present. If you are the victim of a criminal case in Marana and the grounds for your request for a protective order relate to the case in which you are a victim, you may be referred to another court to file your protective order petition so the judge does not violate this rule.
