Some useful New Mexico Divorce Tips

  • A judicial district might have a "supervised visitation program." This is in accordance with local court rules and endorsed by the Supreme Court. This program is run when the court has one of the following opinions

    • The contact between the child and the parent must be supervised
    • During exchanges of custody, contact or confrontation between the parents must be avoided

    It is possible that the court orders that this program be executed or any parent can request the services of this program

  • A domestic relations mediation program can be established by a judicial district as per court rules and which the Supreme Court can approve. The district court can make a contract with or employ a counselor to offer mediation, evaluations and consultations in domestic relations in those cases that involve children. The Supreme Court approves a sliding fee scale as per which the parents need to pay the costs of this program

  • The term "priority consultation" indicates that the court has requested suggestions about temporary arrangements and brief assessment and specific information about the parenting situation

  • New Mexico acknowledges an act or order pertaining to grandparent visitation that has been issued by any state, district, territory or Indian tribe of the U.S.

  • Assume that a grandparent has been awarded visitation rights of a minor child as per the provisions of the Grandparent's Visitation Privileges Act. Now, the custodian of the child wishes to relocate within the state or depart from the state. This means that the domicile of the child would change. In such a case, the custodian is supposed to perform the following

    • The grandparent must be given a chance to communicate with the minor child
    • The custodian must give the grandparent an address and telephone number of the minor child
    • Minimum 5 days before the alteration in the domicile, the custodian should convey to the grandparents the intention to alter the domicile of the child

  • When a situation arises in which the district court has finalized that visitation is not in the best interests of the child, the court may allow other reasonable means of contact between the grandparent and the child like mail, telephone etc

  • Consider that the parental rights of the natural parents are relinquished or they terminate and a stepparent adopts the minor child. In this scenario, the biological grandparents are not prohibited from trying to obtain visitation rights

  • It is expected that the obligor should offer the following data about dental insurance coverage or health insurance coverage to the department

    • Name, address and tax identification number of the employer
    • Effective period of coverage
    • If the obligor has offered dental insurance coverage or health insurance coverage to other people, then, their names and tax identification numbers
