I think a partner is monitoring my phone or location through spyware

Changes may alert an abuser and increase danger; symptoms alone do not establish surveillance.

Qualifications & requirements

Source-backed qualifications and preparation information for all 15 topics, usable across all 75 Arkansas counties with the existing county routes. This is partial coverage, not an eligibility decision. Current income limits, program exceptions, local intake, funding and individual facts require confirmation. No professional legal review is recorded.

No specific qualifications profile is mapped to this situation yet. Use the linked program or receiving office to confirm eligibility, documents and exceptions before applying.

Forms, timing and where to file

A procedure-specific filing profile has not yet been added to this situation. Use the existing steps and official resources below to identify the correct process. Confirm the form, receiving office and deadline from the actual notice or current instructions; do not borrow a deadline from a different guide.

What to do next

  1. Consider immediate safety and seek help from a safer device or place if monitoring is suspected.
  2. Describe what the other person knows and what device access they had without treating symptoms as proof.
  3. Use official stalkerware safety guidance before removing software or changing accounts.
  4. Keep safe notes of threats and observations without confronting the suspected abuser.
  5. Discuss evidence preservation and a safe communications plan with a survivor advocate.
  6. Arrange account and device changes only as part of a plan that considers escalation and continued access.
  7. Review safe contact methods and any protection or criminal-report questions with qualified assistance.

How this process works

Who handles this issue

A survivor advocate helps plan safety; qualified technical help and law enforcement address separate technical or criminal questions.

Before you start

Describe what the other person knows and what device access they had without treating symptoms as proof.

Filing or application route

Use official stalkerware safety guidance before removing software or changing accounts.

What happens next

A safety plan can coordinate advocacy, evidence and technical changes; reporting and legal protection are separate routes.

When to get qualified help

Get emergency assistance for immediate danger and qualified advocacy before risky device changes.

Confirm for your county

Federal consumer tools and Arkansas referral routes serve residents of all 75 counties. The platform, bureau, provider or insurer handles its own process; police and court jurisdiction depend on the facts, not an automatic county-wide remedy.

Choose the path that fits

  • Is it safe to use this device to seek help?
  • Could changes alert the person monitoring me?

Questions to ask before acting

  • Is it safe to use this device to seek help?
  • Could changes alert the person monitoring me?
  • What evidence can be kept safely and lawfully?
  • Which safe contact method should a provider use?
  • What is the response method and deadline in my actual papers, and can I request language help, disability access or a fee waiver?

Statewide preparation and routing. This guide does not calculate a deadline or determine individual eligibility.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Removing suspected software before considering escalation
  • Assuming battery drain proves stalking
  • Hacking the suspected person's account to investigate

Before filing, applying or traveling in Arkansas

  • Identify the actual court, division, agency or provider from your papers. Your home county alone may not determine the correct venue or office.
  • Confirm accepted submission methods, current forms, required attachments, fees or waiver options, and any separate service or notice requirement with the responsible office.
  • Read the dates and instructions on the actual notice. Keep delivery records, accepted submission receipts and the next appointment or hearing information.
  • Ask early about an interpreter, disability accommodations, a safe contact method, remote participation or travel needs. Confirm who receives the request.
  • For representation, ask about issue coverage, income rules, conflicts and intake capacity. A referral or application does not mean a lawyer has accepted the case.
