Legal Question in Civil Litigation in New Mexico

At what age is a child considered an adult

I am currently trying to find out where it states that a child is considered an adult at the age of 18. It is not in the Constitution.

Please advise.

Thank you

Mckinneys Consolidated laws include the NY laws.

For criminal law, the Penal Code is the correct source of law.
