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.
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.
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.
Our attorneys are dedicated to helping families protect their loved ones through the guardianship process. We guide you through every step to ensure the process is as smooth as possible.
Family law issues can be emotionally and financially draining, and navigating through them without professional help can be overwhelming. Whether you're facing a divorce, a custody battle, or issues related to child support, Archuleta Romaine Law Firm offers compassionate legal guidance to help you through these difficult times.
New Mexico is a no-fault divorce state, meaning that you don’t have to prove wrongdoing to end a marriage. However, there are still important legal processes to follow, especially when it comes to dividing assets, determining spousal support, and deciding on child custody and visitation arrangements.
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.
Our team of family law attorneys offers personalized care and attention to every case. We understand the emotional stress involved and are here to help you navigate through the legal complexities with ease.
