Restraining Order Notification Process

Summary

In New Mexico, you must be officially served with a notice of a restraining order hearing by law enforcement or a court official. A picture of the order is not legally recognized. If you believe you have a restraining order against you but havent been contacted, check directly with the court.

In New Mexico,
- You should be served with a notice of the restraining order hearing.
- This is typically done by law enforcement or a court official, not the person requesting the order.
- A picture of the order is not officially recognized as legal notice.
Remember, this is general advice and you should seek help from a legal professional.
