Child Custody Law Attorney in Albuquerque & Rio Rancho

We Help Resolve Disputes on Child Custody in Rio Rancho & Albuquerque

The laws in New Mexico presume that you and your spouse will have joint custody of your child. This type of custody, however, doesn’t mean that each parent is required to provide equal financial responsibility and parenting time. The court considers various factors, including:

• The wishes of the child
• The kid’s adjustment to community, school, and home
• Each parent’s health, lifestyle, financial security, and mental state

When a dispute arises on the custody of the child, hiring a skilled lawyer to provide you with legal representation in court is a wise move. Your attorney can protect your parental rights. On top of that, he or she can acknowledge, uphold, and respect your wishes concerning the custody of your young one.

When you need a child custody attorney to help you resolve a dispute, turn to the Law Office of Dorene A. Kuffer. Our legal team in Albuquerque and Rio Rancho applies a child-centered focus on custody disputes. Putting the needs and interests of your young one on top is what we do.
