What are an unwed mother's custody rights in New Mexico and where can I find the statue?

New Mexico law does not have a specific statute that addresses the rights of single mothers. As with other states, the rights of parents are secondary to the rights of a child. In all cases, if a court is to decide the living arrangements of a child and contact with parents, it will be based on the welfare of the child. The marital status of the parents is of little importance compared to the ability of parents to provide a safe and nurturing environment for the child.


When can a child decide which parent to live with in the country Mexico?

If both parents live in Mexico and international law isn't involved, the child can make a declaration at any age, however until they reach legal age (18 in Mexico), the courts will ultimately decide what is in the best interests of the child and award custody based on the same.

Can you take your children to Mexico if you have full custody?

Generally the parent who retains full custodial powers of minor children does not need permission from the non custodial parent in issues relating to the child/children. The terms of the custodial order determine what a parent may or may not do concerning minor children. If there is not a specific stipulation pertaining to the issue at hand it would be prudent for the custodial parent to discuss the matter with a qualified attorney before taking any action. If you have sole custody, you can travel with your child unless there is a specific agreement in the divorce decree that you need special arrangements with your ex before international travel. Also, you should get each of your children a passport. Any large post office can assist you with obtaining a passport. Where moving children around affects the ability of the other parent to visit the children it is very common for the law to require that the other parent either agrees to the move, or is compensated for the extra travelling to the new location in order to continue the visiting arrangements. Full custody is never to be regarded as permission to block or hinder visitation.
