Answer:

Emergency temporary orders are available for people who may need immediate change in their parenting time for reasons such as abuse, neglect and child endangerment. The forms can be found at your county's superior court self-service center. If your county does not have their own forms many county's accept the forms from Maricopa County that can be found here: https://www.superiorcourt.maricopa.gov/SuperiorCourt/Self-ServiceCenter/Forms/FamilyCourt/index.asp you may want to speak with the clerk of the court of your county to confirm that is an option.
