ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - The New Mexico judiciary has launched a new online service that lets self-represented litigants in divorce and domestic abuse cases prepare certain documents from home.
The Albuquerque Journal reports state District Court Judge Nan Nash said in a release that the site “should alleviate some of the stress that an extra trip to the courthouse adds to situations that are inherently emotional, such as filing for divorce.”
The new Guide and File service, available at www.nmguideandfile.com, works like tax preparation software, taking users through a series of questions and then generating a court form, which must be filed in person at the courthouse.
Forms available on the site include petitions for protective orders in domestic abuse cases, divorce petitions, responses, finalizations and applications for free case processing.
