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

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.
