The AZTurboCourt.gov website includes links to the Arizona Judicial
Branch’s online services, known as eServices.
One of the featured online services is electronic filing, commonly
referred to as eFiling. The AZTurboCourt eFiling service guides
filers through the process of preparing case submissions by asking a
series of questions in an interview-like fashion. After completing
the questions-and-answers process, the system will allow filers to
review their answers and make corrections as needed. The final
answers will be incorporated within court-approved forms that can be
printed and submitted over-the-counter or sent electronically to the
receiving court.
At present AZTurboCourt eFiling services provide Limited Jurisdiction
Small Claims, Civil, and Eviction Action application support for the
counties identified on the upper right-hand side of this page.

Self Service Centers |

|
|
|
Like the Supreme Court's Self Service
Center, the Superior Court and some Limited Jurisdiction Courts have Self
Service Centers (links at right) designed to provide information and forms for persons who are
representing themselves in court.
Court staff at the Self Service Centers can provide
legal information, but not legal advice. The handbook, glossary
and signage below are designed to help define the difference between
legal information and legal advice. These materials may also help
you determine whether your question is best suited for Self Service
Center staff or an attorney.

Abortion |
|
|
|
|
Doctors cannot perform abortions for girls under the age of 18 without
permission from their parent, guardian or a superior court judge (see below,
A.R.S. § 36-2152*).
If you are trying to obtain an abortion without parental consent, these
self-service forms may be used to request permission from the superior court.
Once you have filled these forms out, you must file them in person or via U.S.
mail to the superior court in your county.
*A.R.S.
§ 36-2152, enacted in 2001, prohibits any physician from performing an
abortion on an unemancipated minor without the written consent of one of the
minor's parents or her guardian or conservator, or unless a judge of the
superior court authorizes the physician to perform the abortion pursuant to
prescribed procedures.

Garnishment is a legal process by which one party may collect money from
another party, after a money judgment has been entered.
All parties to a garnishment are strongly urged to obtain legal advice from
an attorney. Garnishment procedures are governed by Arizona law
and are extremely complicated. All parties involved must follow these
procedures correctly. The Court may issue an order for monetary
penalties against any party who does not proceed properly, including the
judgment creditor.
