Comprehensive Divorce Services
Wolf & Fox, P.C. can present your interest whether you want to file for divorce, respond to a divorce petition, or negotiate fair divorce settlement agreements. During the divorce process, important decisions will be made about your future. We want you to have input regarding these decisions. Our attorneys are responsive to your needs and communicate regularly about your case. We handle divorce issues that include the following:
- Child custody - Our firm can help you obtain child custody and visitation arrangements that protect your parental rights and meet your children's best interests. We handle disputes over: physical custody, legal custody, visitation and parenting time. Our attorneys have significant experience in interstate child custody issues governed by the Uniform Child Custody and Enforcement Act. We also can advise and represent you in hearings regarding changes of custody and visitation or parenting time, and in situations in which a custodial parent wants to move out of state.
- Child support - Child support is determined by New Mexico's statutory child support guidelines. Child support is calculated by a formula that considers factors such as each parents' gross income, time spent with the children and the cost of health insurance. In addition to representing parents in initial child support proceedings, we can also represent parents with hearings regarding unpaid child support at the New Mexico Child Support Enforcement Division. After a significant change in the circumstances of the parents or child (e.g. job loss, increased needs of child or increased income), we can seek a modification or change in child support.
- Property division - New Mexico is a community property state. Property and debt that was acquired during the marriage is divided equally. This can cause contentious issues as couples try to agree on how to divide their home, vehicles, retirement and pension accounts, personal property, and other assets and debts. Our firm provides experienced representation designed to ensure that all community property and debt are disclosed, assets are properly valued and that property division is fair and in your best interest.
- Spousal support (alimony) - Spousal support can be awarded when one spouse is in need of temporary or permanent support from the other spouse. Some of the factors that are considered in alimony determinations include the need of the spouse seeking alimony, the ability of the other spouse to pay alimony, the length of marriage, and the education, training and earning capacity of each spouse.
