Doing What's Right for the Children

When minor children are involved in a divorce, determining what's right and assuring the well-being of children can be a difficult transition for the parents and the children. At The Family Law Firm in Albuquerque, New Mexico, we work to settle custody and enforcement matters with a concern for the child or children.

Parents often agree about the major issues surrounding parenting time. At times, however, child custody can escalate into a battleground that does not serve anyone well — especially the child. At our law firm, we understand the issues and help parents negotiate difficult decisions in the best interests of the child.

Focused on You and Your Child: Please see our Child Custody site for more information about child custody, parenting time, custody mediation, custody modification, relocation and custody evaluations.

• Child support: Child support is determined by a formula in New Mexico. Our lawyers can help you understand the factors that go into the formula and how they will affect child support in your particular case.
• Child support enforcement: If a parent does not pay court-ordered child support, your lawyer can have the case in front of the court within weeks. We know how important it is to enforce expected child support. If there is a need for a modification of child support because of changing circumstances, the change must be made by the court, not by parental agreement.
• Child custody: Your attorney will prepare you for custody evaluation and can help you reach an agreement that is fair to you and in the best interests of your child. In most cases, parents share joint legal custody.
• Child custody enforcement: If you are facing problems involving parenting time, talk to a lawyer who will take immediate action. We help parents with issues such as withholding a child from a parent (denying visitation) or moving out of state jurisdiction with a child.

When it involves your children, we understand that the matter needs immediate attention. Our attorneys will get a hearing scheduled for you as soon as possible.
