[Albuquerque, 12/12/2017] - As single-parent households and divorce become more commonplace throughout Albuquerque, finding the right family law experts is a priority for custodial parents.

While the enforcement of child support payments is done by the Child Support Enforcement Division, or CSED, of the New Mexico Court system, maximizing payments and securing custody will often be determined by the legal experts that a parent will consult.

New Mexico Child Support Laws

Child support laws in New Mexico require the non-custodial parent to pay support to the custodial parent, with the specific amount being determined by a number of factors like the income of each parent, as well as the physical time each parent gets with the child or children.

In most cases that involve a single child, child support fees are set at 18% of the gross monthly income of the non-custodial parent, with the percentage rising in proportion to the number of children.

Along with the number of children to be supported, judges also determine the amount of child support payments based on the medical and educational needs of the child or children, as well as any special needs they may have, if any.
