An Arizona Temporary Order Without Notice (TOWN) is a type of court order issued in the State of Arizona that grants temporary orders before a full hearing on a matter can be held. It is a temporary restraining order that is granted without the respondent being notified in advance. There are two types of Arizona Temporary Order Without Notice: Emergency TOWN and Ex Parte TOWN. An Emergency TOWN is issued when the petitioner can prove that the respondent poses a danger to the petitioner or their property. An Ex Parte TOWN is issued when the petitioner can show that they are in immediate and present danger of irreparable harm, such as physical abuse, financial harm, or a breach of contract. Both types of Arizona Temporary Order Without Notice are meant to protect the petitioner from harm and provide immediate relief until a full hearing can be held. The orders are valid until the hearing date and can be extended if necessary.
