When families face difficult situations such as an incapacitated parent or an absent guardian, kinship care and guardianship can provide a solution. Archuleta Romaine Law Firm helps families in New Mexico navigate the legal processes of establishing guardianship and kinship care.
What is Kinship Care and Guardianship?
Kinship care refers to when a child is placed under the care of relatives or close family friends. Legal guardianship, on the other hand, involves a court process that grants a person the legal authority to care for a child or vulnerable adult.
How to Establish Guardianship in New Mexico
To establish guardianship, the petitioner (the person seeking guardianship) must file a petition with the court. The court will review the case and determine whether guardianship is in the best interest of the individual.

Divorce and Separation in New Mexico
New Mexico is a no-fault divorce state, meaning that you don’t have to prove wrongdoing to end a marriage.

Child Custody and Support
In New Mexico, the courts prioritize the best interests of the child when determining custody. Our firm can help you understand how custody is decided, whether through joint or sole custody arrangements, and how child support is calculated and enforced.
