Where to Find Help

UPDATED August 16, 2005

To file for a Protection Order in New Mexico, go to the district court in the county where you live, or where the abuser lives. Find the civil court clerk and request a petition for a Protection Order.

At the courthouse, the clerk will provide you with the forms that you need to file. If you need assistance filling out the form, ask the clerk for help. You will also find links to online forms at our Download Court Forms page. You may also get help with the court system through one of the domestic violence agencies listed on our NM State and Local Programs page.
