custody statute
New Mexico custody law
New Mexico courts presume joint custody is in the child's best interest and encourage cooperative parenting arrangements.
What New Mexico courts consider in custody decisions
New Mexico has a statutory presumption favoring joint custody under § 40-4-9.1. Best interest factors include the wishes of the child, the wishes of the parents, the interaction and interrelationship of the child with parents and siblings, the child's adjustment to home/school/community, the mental and physical health of all individuals involved, each parent's willingness to accept all responsibilities of parenting and to allow the other parent to provide care, the suitability of a joint custody arrangement, the history of domestic abuse, and each parent's history of willingness to facilitate and encourage a close and continuing relationship with the other parent. New Mexico also considers whether a parent has used child support as a bargaining tool and whether either parent has made false allegations of abuse or neglect.
How the custody process works in New Mexico
New Mexico custody cases are filed in District Court. The state presumes that joint custody is in the child's best interest under § 40-4-9.1, and the court must consider it as a first option. If parents cannot agree, the court may appoint a guardian ad litem or order a custody evaluation. Mediation is available through court-connected programs and many judicial districts require it before trial. New Mexico courts may also appoint a 'parenting coordinator' in high-conflict cases to help parents implement their parenting plan.
