A father has equal rights under New Mexico law.
A father has the same rights as a mother, and regardless of whether the two parents were ever married or involved in a relationship, a father can fight for child custody and child support the same way that a mother can. If you are a father seeking custody, visitation and/or support, it is in your best interest to know your rights and consult with an attorney about your case.
We will protect the legal rights of fathers experiencing custody, support and visitation issues. A fathers’ rights encompass many aspects of divorce and family law, including the following:
- Child custody
- Child support and payment
- Paternity
- Visitation issues
- Modifications
- Types of custody
