Legal Question in Mediation in New Mexico

My ex wife kept a check for $4000 that was money owed to me as a refund from the sale of a truck that was under both our names but that I paid for entirely. I want to take her to small claims court since she is refusing to give me the money.

What is the best way to deal with this?

Go to the Clerk of the Magistrate Court in your area. You can obtain the forms necessary for filing a small claim without a lawyer. If you ex defends, the judge will set a hearing date and hold a trial and render a judgment.
