Adoption
Our adoption services guide clients through New Mexico's legal requirements for private, stepparent, relative, and adult adoptions. We handle consent processes, home studies, and court filings while ensuring compliance with state and federal regulations. Our firm simplifies complex procedures like interstate adoptions and military family considerations, prioritizing the child's best interests and preserving familial rights.
Child Custody
We assist with physical and legal custody arrangements, including joint custody agreements and modifications. Our approach focuses on minimizing conflict while protecting parental rights and children's well-being. We help establish visitation schedules, address relocation issues, and resolve disputes through negotiation or litigation, always prioritizing the child's best interests under New Mexico law.
Child Support
Our child support services cover calculations using New Mexico's guidelines, enforcement of orders, and modifications due to changed circumstances. We help clients understand Worksheet A/B applications, handle arrears issues, and address healthcare and educational expense allocations. We also represent clients in disputes regarding underemployment or income imputation.
Kinship Guardianship
We represent family members seeking legal custody of children when parents cannot provide care. Our services include filing petitions, navigating court requirements, and addressing parental rights modifications. We guide clients through eligibility criteria, notice requirements, and best-interest determinations while protecting guardians' decision-making authority.
Mediation
Our mediation services facilitate out-of-court resolutions for family law disputes. As a neutral mediator, we help parties reach agreements on custody, support, and property division. We offer both traditional mediation and settlement facilitation with separate room negotiations, ensuring legally sound outcomes that meet court requirements while reducing emotional and financial costs.
