Legal Question in Family Law in New Mexico

Parents have a lot of lee-way about how to raise their children. If you file a law-suit to seek an injunction against your mothers' actions you may find even before you are given the chance to explain to a judge how it is that your mother is wrong, that you have to convince the judge you can conduct the lawsuit without having a Guardian ad Litem assigned to you. Understand that the judge may refuse to allow you to conduct a lawsuit on your own because you are not legally responsible. Your mother is the adult who is responsible for you. She may tell the judge she cannot afford to hire a lawyer for you just so you can ask the judge to order her to raise you in a particular manner or style. . . . . such as letting you drive a car in which you cannot demonstrate any ownership interest. Most judges would call that a responsible adult.

good luck
