If you are afraid of your abuser finding out your address in court, here are two ways to make your address private:

  1. If you have a case in NY Family Court, ask the court to keep your address private.
  2. Apply to NY State's Address Confidentiality Program. This free program is for survivors of domestic violence and members of their household to shield their addresses, including home, school and work, from their abuser.
