The New Mexico Custody Plan and Order is a legal document issued by the courts of the state of New Mexico that outlines the rights and responsibilities of both parents in regard to parenting time and decision-making regarding their minor children. The plan and order is issued when both parents cannot agree on the custody arrangements. It is a detailed document that outlines the terms and conditions of the custody agreement, including the visitation schedule, child support, decision-making authority, and relocation provisions. There are two types of New Mexico Custody Plan and Order: joint custody and sole custody. In joint custody, both parents have equal decision-making authority and joint physical and legal custody of the child. In sole custody, one parent has sole decision-making authority and physical and legal custody of the child. The custodial parent typically has the primary right to make decisions regarding the child’s health, education, and welfare. The non-custodial parent typically has visitation rights and a right to be consulted with regarding major decisions.
