Arizona Court Locations and Records

FamilyCourtHelp is an independent educational platform. It is not a court, law firm, government agency, or government partner. We organize and link to publicly available resources published by courts and government agencies. Official requirements may change. Always confirm current requirements with the applicable court or clerk.

Family cases in Arizona are heard in the Superior Court, usually in the Family Court Department. Every county's Superior Court hears family cases; big counties run a dedicated Family Court department. There is one Superior Court per county - 15 in all.

The clerk's office is a different thing from the court itself. The clerk accepts filings, keeps the record, and collects fees, while judges and hearings belong to the court. For a filing question, the clerk is the right first call. The official Arizona directory and case record search are below.
