Question: I left my abusive husband almost 6 years ago and have been trying to get divorced but the lawyers and he are dragging their feet because I'm paying him support. I recently found out that he called our health insurance co (he's under my plan because we are still legally married) and changed the address listed, which was mine, to his. So now he knows where I live and I fear for my life. I have moved 3 times in the last 6 years and I thought I was safe. Do I have any legal recourse to have him arrested?

Answer: A good idea for a person in this situation is to look into getting a protective order. See ARS 13-3602 and 13-3601 http://www.azleg.state.az.us/ars/13/03602.htm http://www.azleg.state.az.us/ars/13/03601.htm
