How custody works in New Mexico
New Mexico courts presume joint custody is in the child's best interest and encourage cooperative parenting arrangements.
New Mexico custody cases are filed in District Court. The state presumes that joint custody is in the child's best interest under § 40-4-9.1, and the court must consider it as a first option. If parents cannot agree, the court may appoint a guardian ad litem or order a custody evaluation. Mediation is available through court-connected programs and many judicial districts require it before trial. New Mexico courts may also appoint a 'parenting coordinator' in high-conflict cases to help parents implement their parenting plan.
Cases from Albuquerque are filed in Bernalillo County and heard in the Bernalillo County Second Judicial District Court, Family Division. The court that hears your case is determined by where the children have been living, not by where either parent works.

Civly is not a law firm and this page is not legal advice. Custody law and the rules of evidence vary from state to state, and individual judges apply them differently. For advice about your own case, speak to a family law attorney licensed in New Mexico. Civly launched in 2026 and is not named in many court orders yet — if your order already requires a specific platform, keep using it and ask your attorney before switching.
