For victims of domestic violence:
NLSP can help obtain a Civil Protection Order (CPO). This will prohibit your abuser from harassing you.
NOTE: NLSP assists victims of domestic violence or trafficking without regard to immigration status. We will not consider the income of the abuser when determining eligibility for services.
