\"The<\/a>Many individuals (most frequently females) suffer prolonged periods of physical abuse, family violence, and intimidating threats of bodily harm because they feel as though they have few options for seeking protection from an abusive partner. New Mexico law does provide a legal process to seek protection from specific household members which include: (1) a current or former spouse; (2) dating partner or lover; (3) co-parents; or (4) other partner involved in a continuing personal relationship. Our Family Lawyers in Santa Fe have provided an overview of the process of seeking domestic violence (DV) restraining orders in New Mexico.<\/p>\n

The initial step in obtaining protective orders is to file for a Temporary Order of Protection at the Bernalillo County Courthouse. The paperwork must allege that the party seeking Restraining Orders has been the victim of domestic abuse by a member of the petitioner\u2019s household of a type listed below:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Harassment
\n\u2022 Threatened or actual harm to children
\n\u2022 Assault
\n\u2022 Stalking
\n\u2022 Physical injury
\n\u2022 Significant emotional distress
\n\u2022 Harassing phone calls
\n\u2022 Criminal damage to property
\n\u2022 Threats resulting in imminent fear of bodily harm
\n\u2022 Traveling repeatedly past the home or workplace of the petitioner
\n\u2022 Criminal trespass<\/p>\n

If the application for protective orders satisfies the criteria above, the application will typically be approved after a cursory review in an abundance of caution. A temporary restraining order will be imposed that will be valid until a hearing which will be scheduled approximately three weeks later.<\/p>\n

At the hearing, the hearing officer will consider evidence to determine whether the evidence justifies approving an extension of the restraining orders based on domestic violence. The petitioner must establish by clear and convincing evidence that the respondent engaged in an act of domestic abuse listed above and that failure to approve the request for protective orders will result in imminent and irreparable harm. The hearing officer may dismiss the petition or extend the restraining orders for six months or as much as a year. If the protective order is granted, it will include: (1) \u201cno contact\u201d orders (includes telephonic and electronic communications); (2) restrictions from the petitioner\u2019s place of work, residence or daycare; and (3) prohibition of conduct constituting domestic violence.<\/p>\n
