Legal Question in Family Law in New Mexico

In domesticating a foreign order you have to have a "certified true original copy" of the foreign order. Because your question is not more specific I have to 'guess' at what it is you are seeking to domesticate. You have to file a new action; and serve the opposing party. It helps, but perhaps is not required, to have a cause of action - even if the cause is to enforce the foreign order. There will be different statutes at play regarding the foreign order. Stating what is the nature of the foreign order will provide a basis on which statue you rely upon to address the foreign order.

In NM children NEVER get to decide which parent it is they will live with. In NM after a child attains the age of 14 years they get a voice in court when a judge is deciding with whom the child will live; but a child will NEVER get to make that decision.

Hope that helps.
