New Mexico's Child Custody Guidelines

Divorcing parents are allowed to collaborate on a child custody arrangement, and produce a written parenting plan. If the parents cannot reach a decision, a New Mexico court will make a ruling.

New Mexico courts consider factors such as:

  • the recommendation of professionals
  • wishes of the child
  • child's adjustment to the community, school, and home
 

New Mexico's Child Support Guidelines

If the parents cannot agree on the amount of child support and the paying parent, child support will be decided by state-specific calculations and guidelines.

New Mexico courts consider factors such as:

  • any extraordinary medical, education, or counseling needs of the child
  • each parent's financial resources
 

New Mexico's Spousal Support Guidelines

Spousal support can be paid in one lump sum, in installments, or periodically. The spouses may determine the spousal support amount and payment schedule, or the courts may award spousal support.

New Mexico courts consider factors such as:

  • duration of the marriage
  • each spouse's current and future earning capacity
  • any property division arrangements
  • the standard of living experienced during the marriage
 

New Mexico's Property Division Guidelines

New Mexico has adopted community property division guidelines, meaning all property acquired during the marriage will be divided into two equal parts. Spouses may collaborate on the property distribution, but if they are unable to agree the courts will make a ruling.
