What are good magical items to help protecting familiar in combat, specifically from 1 attack of opportunity it will get while disengaging an enemy after delivering touch spell. Except magic armor, i mean.
Its a Lyrakien (so flying humanoid).
I know that best advice is to not let your familiar into combat in the first place. Cloak of elvenkind does not give enough to its poor acro to make a difference in the avoiding AoO.
Maybe somethign that grants concealment? Best thing i can do is cast greater darkness on it, but 90% of creatures have darkvision anyway.

Technically, she'll provoke just entering the opponents space to deliver the attack. She's tiny, with a reach of 0.
If you've got summons or a team going, ask them to provoke the AOOs before the familiar goes. Not full proof, but it can help.
Rod of Reach spell and Vanish to give it invisibility after the touch. This method would take two rounds (one to cast the touch spell, and a second to allow the familiar to deliver and get invis cast on it - time it faster and you'll end up not only eating the AOOs but also possibly a full attack)
Cast long-arm on it to give it reach (would at least not force it to occupy the opponents square).
I don't think there's a guaranteed good way to do it; high risk, high reward?

This is the only spell I know.
Otherwise, you can always Shield it, that's +4 AC, Mage Armor, that's another +4.
That would put it at 24 without Natural Armor Bonus. Or Improved Invisibility, would help too if enemy relies on sight.
On the other hand, you can give it reach.
With this spell no more AoO.

I am afraid it will be "corpse teleports instead" im my case XD
Recalled one thing i found before - Nightmare Boots from Ultimate Equipment. 50% concealment can help, i guess.

The spell Illusion of Calm on a wand might do.
The feat Evolved Companion can give the Reach evolution to allow it to attack without entering the space.
