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.
