New Mexico Child Support Obligation and Order is a legal document issued by a New Mexico court that requires a parent or guardian to pay a certain amount of money each month to support their minor child(men). The amount is typically determined by the court based off the parent’s or guardian’s income, the number of children, and other financial factors. The order may also require the parent or guardian to provide health insurance, as well as other expenses such as day care or extracurricular activities. The New Mexico Child Support Obligation and Order is typically enforced by the New Mexico Child Support Enforcement Division (USED). There are three types of New Mexico Child Support Obligation and Order: initial orders, modification orders, and enforcement orders. An initial order is issued when a parent or guardian is initially obligated to pay child support. A modification order is issued when the amount of child support needs to be changed. An enforcement order is issued if a parent or guardian fails to comply with the initial or modified order.
