FAQs

  • Do I need an attorney for my divorce or custody case?

    While it's possible to represent yourself, having a family law attorney can help protect your rights, ensure accurate paperwork, and avoid common mistakes. We help you stay informed and reduce stress during these important transitions.

  • How are child custody decisions made in New Mexico?

    Custody decisions are based on the best interests of the child. The court considers factors like the child’s needs, each parent’s ability to provide care, and existing relationships. We’ll help you build a strong case that supports your role in your child’s life.
