Address privacy protections in family court

In Arizona family court cases, courts must use an address program participant’s substitute address and seal the home address from parties and lawyers. Courts cannot treat program participation as proof of parental alienation, instability, or failure to cooperate. When a sole decision-making parent joined the program because of the other parent’s actions, the other parent does not get equal access to the child’s medicine and records under this rule. The participating parent can provide required information by email, app, or regular mail.

Stronger privacy for address program users

People cannot knowingly seek a participant’s actual address or phone number when they are not allowed to get it. Covered government workers and people who receive the information under a court order cannot share it unless a law or court order permits it. A court can order disclosure only when clear and convincing evidence shows it is essential to a compelling state interest and no reasonable alternative exists.

Sealed voter records for program users

When an address program participant renews their certification, the county recorder must keep the participant’s voter record sealed. Another registered voter living at the participant’s home can ask to have their own record sealed. The participant’s voter record stays sealed after their death.

Penalties for address privacy violations

Intentionally or knowingly breaking the address privacy rules is a class 1 misdemeanor. Conduct meant to harass, stalk, or commit domestic violence against a family court party is a class 6 felony. Under the address program rules, surveillance of a minor, using a third party, or repeated attempts is a class 5 felony.
