INJUNCTION AGAINST HARASSMENT

According to Arizona law, Harassment must involve a series of acts. Just one incident, no matter how much it bothers you, does not constitute legal harassment. According to the law this series of acts:

  • can be spread over a long or short period of time; and,
  • must be the same type of repetitive act against you; and,
  • must be directed at you; and,
  • must seriously alarm, annoy, or harass you without serving a legitimate purpose; and,
  • must be the kinds of acts that would cause a reasonable person to suffer substantial emotional distress; and,
  • must actually cause you to suffer substantial emotional distress.

    • Where can a request for an order against Harassment be filed?

    A request for an order against harassment can be filed in the Superior Court or the Justice Court.
