Why You Should Hire an Attorney for Child Support in New Mexico
In New Mexico, child support is determined using child support guidelines, which are established by the legislature and revised periodically. The court calculates support using a set formula, and not just a number the child's parents think is "fair." You should contact an experienced family law attorney for help about the guidelines and calculating child support.
Call (505) 544-5126 to schedule a consultation with one of our Albuquerque child support lawyers.
Understanding How Child Support Can Be Adjusted
If child support has already been established and you are hoping to modify it, you will need to show the court a ‘substantial change of circumstances’ in order to compel the court to modify the support. This may include a new rate of pay, job loss, the emancipation of a child, a change in insurance benefits or school or day care costs. On the other hand, you and your former partner may simply agree to modify the support.
An Albuquerque attorney can help you navigate the modification process.
Key Aspects of New Mexico Child Support Laws
In New Mexico, Child Support Worksheets are required by law before the judge can finalize a divorce decree or parenting plan. The exact amount of child support will include a variety of factors, such as the custody arrangement, the parents' combined gross income, and other costs and expenses in caring for the child.
