Where We Can Help

Kuffer specializes in providing exactly that. We leverage our understanding of the nuances of adoption cases to help you complete your family with an adopted child.

Determining how parenting time will be divided between both parents is never easy and often leads to disputes that compromise more than just the relationship in question. Courts will consider a number of different factors, including the wishes of the child(ren) and parents, how the adjustments will affect the everyday routine of the child, and how the child interacts with each parent.
At the Law Office of Dorene A. Kuffer, we strive to ensure that the parent we’re representing has the most experienced and sincere legal support. Likewise, we specialize in defending the father’s rights during custody proceedings to prevent precedent from over-reaching. While we won’t hesitate to litigate should the circumstances necessitate it, our goal as your attorney is to prevent custody disputes from escalating into full-blown legal battles.
Ending a relationship is difficult, emotional, and trying. You need a compassionate and experienced attorney to provide you with knowledge, support, and expertise right from the start.

We handle a wide variety of cases, including:
Domestic violence is a pattern of behavior used to gain or maintain power and control over another individual. This can be physical, emotional, sexual, financial, or psychological. It affects people of all socioeconomic backgrounds and can happen to anyone, regardless of gender, race, religion, or sexuality. If you are a victim of domestic violence, it’s essential that you seek help as quickly as possible. Many resources are available to assist you, including support groups, counseling, and legal services.
At the Law Office of Dorene A. Kuffer, we understand that every divorce is unique, so we take the time to understand your circumstances and needs in order to tailor our approach to fit you. No matter your goals or objectives, we will work tirelessly to help you achieve them. Our attorneys will help you secure the following when necessary:

Creating a will is an important step in estate planning; it allows you to designate how you would like your assets to be distributed after your death. Without a will, state laws will determine how your property is divided. Our competent family law experts in Rio Rancho and Albuquerque can help you create a comprehensive estate plan that includes a will, trusts, Powers of Attorney, and advance directives. We will work with you to understand your goals and objectives to divide your estate according to your wishes.
Kinship custody is when a relative (i.e., a grandparent or aunt/uncle) is awarded custody of a child. This can happen if the child’s parents are unable to care for them or if it is in the child’s best interest. The process of securing kinship custody can be complex and confusing. A lawyer can help you navigate the legal system, understand your rights, and advocate for your and the child’s best interests.
At the Law Office of Dorene A. Kuffer, we have experience handling kinship custody cases across New Mexico. We will work with you to understand your rights and options and help you make the best decision for your child.
