WomensLaw serves and supports all survivors.
Based on changes to the law, we updated three questions in our Maine Know the Laws section, in English. We updated What protections can I get in a protection from abuse order? and Under what circumstances would I need to request that law enforcement issue a notice to stop the harassment before applying for an order? in the Restraining Orders section. We also updated How does this housing law protect me? in the Housing Laws section.
