The Superior Court in Pinal County is in the process of creating an interactive Family Court self-help website, which will include online information, forms and instructions. Until the project is complete, there are other online resources that can provide valuable online assistance to you.

For example, Maricopa County Superior Court has developed an excellent Family Court self-help website, which includes information, forms and instructions that can be easily adapted to apply to Pinal County cases. The forms on the Maricopa County website can be downloaded in WORD format and then simply modified to refer to Pinal County instead of Maricopa County. Alternatively, it is acceptable to print hard copies of the Maricopa County forms and then modify the copies by any means practical to refer to Pinal County instead of Maricopa County.

The instructions provided on the Maricopa County Website for filling out and filing Family Court forms also generally apply equally to Pinal County cases, with the exception, of course, for references to Court locations and telephone numbers and similar information that is specific to Maricopa County.

YOU THEREFORE SHOULD NOT FILE YOUR PINAL COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT PAPERS AT THE LOCATIONS INDICATED ON THE MARICOPA COUNTY WEBSITE. YOU MUST FILE YOUR PINAL COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT PAPERS AT THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK OF THE COURT in PINAL COUNTY OR ANY OF ITS SATELLITE OFFICES.

Generally, however, Maricopa and Pinal have very similar services and filing requirements. You can contact the Office of the Clerk of the Court in Pinal County at 520-866-5300 for specific filing instructions.
