Providing The Facts to the Court

The court can only rule on the evidence that is presented. Presenting that evidence to the court can be complicated and overwhelming. Merrie Chappell's extensive experience will assist you in overcoming those challenges.

Obtaining Custody

When parents dissolve a marriage or if unmarried, cease residing together, a parenting arrangement is required. The presumption in New Mexico is Joint Legal Custody wherein the parents share in the decision-making process. The current trend is for shared physical custody. Creating a Parenting Plan or Custody Order to determine how much time the children spend with each parent is our focus.
