Legal aid? Crime victims routinely call 911 resulting in a visit from local law enforcement and they will take it from there. I'm not familiar with the laws in NM but I'd be surprised if one requires a legal opinion before calling the police.

I advise against using violence to solve this problem. Assaults can be a two way street and without sufficient justification on the part of the wife, the husband could be the one in the position of filing assault charges. Use the law to solve this problem, that's why they are there.

Tim, thanks for the clarification. I don't mean to muddy the waters but if domestic abuse charges have been filed, I can't imagine there's a separate law for domestic abuse of a disabled person. I'm sure a prosecutor will be appointed which can answer that question specifically.

A woman has a right to file abuse charges against her husband in most states; this is a legal question and it requires a legal answer. I am not a lawyer. The American Disabilities Act provides protection for disabled persons, but I am not an expert on that either. She might make a call to social services if there is one where she lives or simply call the police dept and tell them she was abused and would like to file charges.  My best suggestion  is that she could go to a home for abused women and that is a very safe place to start and they would be glad to help her even if it is not in her local  town it would be worth her going to such a place to find answers.  They work with abused women all the time and and relevant knowledge. Previous advise concerning getting out of a home where abuse is taking place should be taken most seriosly.  Plese don't try going after the husband with any kind of gun. Any defense  will make him doubly abusive. The sooner she gets our the beter. As others have stated we don't know the laws of that state, but this answer will apply in general to any state. Wish I knew more.
