If you or your children are being harassed, abused, or stalked, you should not hesitate to contact the police. People who endure harassment, abuse, or stalking often consider filing for protection or restraining orders. However, depending on the circumstances, it may be more appropriate to get an injunction against harassment if you live in Arizona.

Unlike many other states, Arizona allows its residents to file for an injunction against harassment without the requirement to prove the relationship between the petitioner and the defendant (the person against whom the injunction is filed). The purpose of an injunction against harassment is to prevent one person from harassing or otherwise alarming or annoying another person.
Essentially, injunctions against harassment function in the same way as orders of protection. The main difference between the two is that an order of protection requires the petitioner to prove that they are in a familial relationship with the defendant.
An injunction against harassment, on the other hand, can be filed against any person – such as a friend, a neighbor, or a complete stranger – as long as the petitioner knows the defendant’s name. When requesting an injunction against harassment, the court considers whether or not the petitioner has been subject to harassment.
