WomensLaw serves and supports all survivors, no matter their sex or gender.
New Mexico state law gives full protection to an out-of-state protection order.1
However, if you petitioned for a protection order and the court issued both you and your abuser protection orders (mutual protection orders), and your abuser did not file his/her own petition for the protection order, then New Mexico may not enforce your protection order.
