Court-Ordered Classes in Arizona

Courts in Arizona order classes across 4 categories we've published guides for. Below is every Arizona requirement we've verified against official sources, each linking to the full guide with the program name, length, format rules and the official provider list.

Court-ordered anger management in Arizona

Program: Court-ordered anger management (Arizona courts have no single named statewide anger-management program — orders usually just say "anger management," "anger-management counseling," or "anger-management education"). In domestic-violence cases the court instead orders a state-regulated "Domestic Violence Offender Treatment Program," not a generic anger class.

Length: For generic anger management, the length is set by the judge or probation and is commonly ordered as roughly 6 to 26 hours/sessions (8, 12, or 26 hours are typical). A domestic-violence offender treatment program is much longer — commonly 26 to 52 weekly group sessions (about six months to a year); Maricopa County Adult Probation's domestic-violence offender intervention runs at least 32 weeks. · Format: Varies by court

Ordered to something that isn't listed here? This page lists only the Arizona requirements we have verified against official state, court or agency sources — it is not a complete list of everything a Arizona judge can order. If your order names a class we haven't covered, the court or agency named on your paperwork is the authority on it.

Independent directory: NextStep Counseling is an independent information site. We are not a court, a government agency, or a class provider, and no court endorses this site or any provider listed on it. Requirements change and vary by case, county and judge — always confirm the exact class, format, hours and an accepted provider with the court that ordered you before you enroll or pay.
