Superior Court Docket Records

The Superior Court handles all felony cases in Mohave County. These include drug crimes, theft over $1,000, aggravated assault, burglary, fraud, weapons offenses, and serious DUI charges. The court docket for a criminal case shows the defendant, the charges filed by the prosecutor, the defense attorney, all court appearances, plea agreements, trial dates, and sentencing outcomes. You can track a case from initial arraignment through final judgment by reviewing the docket entries, which are dated and listed in order.

Civil cases in Superior Court include personal injury lawsuits, contract disputes, property disagreements, business litigation, and foreclosures. The docket identifies the plaintiff who filed the lawsuit, the defendant being sued, the amount claimed, when the complaint was served, the defendant's answer, all motions filed by both sides, hearing results, and the final judgment or settlement. Civil dockets provide a complete history of the case so you can see what actions each party took and how the court ruled on disputes.

Family law cases such as divorce, legal separation, child custody, child support, paternity, and protective orders also appear on Superior Court dockets. The docket lists both parties, the filing date, temporary order hearings, mediation sessions if required, trial dates for contested matters, and final decrees. Some details in family cases may be sealed to protect children's privacy, but basic docket information showing case status and hearing schedules is generally available to the public.

Probate dockets show estates of deceased persons, guardianships, and conservatorships. The docket identifies the decedent or protected person, the personal representative or guardian appointed, creditor claims, asset inventories, and distribution orders. These cases can last many months as the estate is settled or the guardianship is supervised by the court. The docket provides a record of all court actions and filings throughout the process.

Nearby Counties

• Coconino County to the east
• Yavapai County to the southeast
• La Paz County to the south

Mohave County also borders Nevada and California. Cases filed in those states require searching their court systems, as Arizona courts do not have jurisdiction over matters filed in other states. Each state and county maintains separate court dockets.
