Question: Does an abused spouse have to start divorce proceedings to get help from the courts?
Answer: No. If you have been abused, you can get a restraining order (or “order of protection”) from any court if either you or your children are in immediate physical danger. The order may limit your spouse from entering your home or from contacting you (ARS §13-3602). For instance, the Maricopa County Superior Court has a Family Violence Prevention Center in Phoenix and Mesa. Other help is also available; see the Links page on LawForKids.org.
