Understanding New Mexico’s Domestic Violence Laws

The state of New Mexico defines “domestic violence” as any of the following involving one household member committing an action against the other:

New Mexico law defines “household member” as a spouse, family member, or a person with whom the alleged attacker has an ongoing personal relationship. The prosecution must also prove that a defendant “intentionally or knowingly” caused harm to an intimate partner, meaning they cannot convict a defendant due to an accidental or self-inflicted injury. Based on domestic violence’s unique definition, your attorney can use several defenses to avoid a conviction

The Consequences of a Conviction

New Mexico courts can inflict strict sentences based on the details of your case. Domestic violence can be a misdemeanor or a felony. The court may approve a restraining order on behalf of the alleged victim and even change your custody arrangements if you have children with the alleged victim. This does not even account for the harm to your reputation.

With regard to criminal penalties, a domestic violence conviction can lead to:

In addition, the courts may impose probation and post-release supervision, force the defendant to attend domestic violence classes, and fulfill other conditions.
