The New Mexico Petition for Dissolution of Divorce with Children is a legal document used when filing for divorce in the state of New Mexico when there are children involved. It must be filled out accurately and properly in order for the divorce to be finalized. The document contains information about the parents and children, including their names, date of birth, address, and any other relevant information. It also includes details about the custody arrangements, child support, and other aspects of the divorce. The New Mexico Petition for Dissolution of Divorce with Children includes two types of petitions: the Joint Petition and the Separate Petition. The Joint Petition is used when both spouses agree to the divorce and all the details, while the Separate Petition is used when one spouse does not agree to the terms of the divorce. In order to begin the process of filing for divorce in New Mexico, the Petitioner (the spouse initiating the divorce) must complete and file the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage with Children with the court. This petition must include all the relevant information and must be signed by both spouses. The petitioner must then serve the other spouse with the Petition, and the other spouse must respond within 30 days. Once the Petition is filed and served, the court will review the Petition and set a hearing date. At the hearing, both spouses must appear and present their case to the court. If the court finds the Petition to be valid, it will then issue a Final Decree of Dissolution of Marriage with Children, which legally ends the marriage.
