1206 | 1206 | | and stating facts establishing a reasonable possibility that |

1209 | 1209 | | stating facts establishing a reasonable possibility that the |

2444 | 2444 | | parentage. In determining detriment to the child, the court |

5076 | 5076 | | A. The purpose of the putative father registry is |
---|
5077 | 5077 | | to protect the parental rights of fathers who affirmatively |
---|
5078 | 5078 | | assume responsibility for children they may have fathered and |

---|
5081 | 5081 | | registering with the putative father registry or otherwise |
---|

---|
5095 | 5095 | | another state or territory of the United States to be the |

5189 | 5189 | | the conception or birth of the child may have occurred in |

5286 | 5286 | | "40-4-9.1. JOINT CUSTODY--STANDARDS FOR DETERMINATION-- |
---|
5287 | 5287 | | PARENTING PLAN.-- |
---|
5288 | 5288 | | A. There shall be a presumption that joint custody |
---|
5289 | 5289 | | is in the best interests of a child in an initial custody |
---|
5290 | 5290 | | determination. An award of joint custody does not imply an |
---|
5291 | 5291 | | equal division of financial responsibility for the child. |
---|
5292 | 5292 | | Joint custody shall not be awarded as a substitute for an |
---|
5293 | 5293 | | existing custody arrangement unless there has been a |
---|
5294 | 5294 | | substantial and material change in circumstances since the |
---|
5295 | 5295 | | entry of the prior custody order or decree, which change |
---|
5296 | 5296 | | affects the welfare of the child such that joint custody is |
---|
5297 | 5297 | | presently in the best interests of the child. With respect to |
---|
5298 | 5298 | | any proceeding in which it is proposed that joint custody be |
---|
5299 | 5299 | | terminated, the court shall not terminate joint custody unless |
---|
5300 | 5300 | | there has been a substantial and material change in |
---|
5301 | 5301 | | circumstances affecting the welfare of the child, since entry |
---|
5302 | 5302 | | of the joint custody order, such that joint custody is no |
---|
5303 | 5303 | | longer in the best interests of the child. |
---|
5304 | 5304 | | B. In determining whether a joint custody order is |
---|
5305 | 5305 | | in the best interests of the child, in addition to the factors |
---|
5306 | 5306 | | provided in Section 40-4-9 NMSA 1978, the court shall consider |
---|
5307 | 5307 | | the following factors: |
---|
5308 | 5308 | | (1) whether the child has established a close |
---|
5309 | 5309 | | relationship with each parent; |

---|
5338 | 5338 | | (2) whether each parent is capable of |
---|
5339 | 5339 | | providing adequate care for the child throughout each period of |
---|
5340 | 5340 | | responsibility, including arranging for the child's care by |
---|
5341 | 5341 | | others as needed; |
---|
5342 | 5342 | | (3) whether each parent is willing to accept |
---|
5343 | 5343 | | all responsibilities of parenting, including a willingness to |
---|
5344 | 5344 | | accept care of the child at specified times and to relinquish |
---|
5345 | 5345 | | care to [the other] another parent at specified times; |
---|
5346 | 5346 | | (4) whether the child can best maintain and |
---|
5347 | 5347 | | strengthen a relationship with [both parents ] each parent |
---|
5348 | 5348 | | through predictable, frequent contact and whether the child's |
---|
5349 | 5349 | | development will profit from such involvement and influence |
---|
5350 | 5350 | | from [both parents] each parent; |
---|
5351 | 5351 | | (5) whether each parent is able to allow the |
---|
5352 | 5352 | | other to provide care without intrusion, that is, to respect |
---|
5353 | 5353 | | the other's parental rights and responsibilities and right to |
---|
5354 | 5354 | | privacy; |
---|
5355 | 5355 | | (6) the suitability of a parenting plan for |
---|
5356 | 5356 | | the implementation of joint custody, preferably, although not |
---|
5357 | 5357 | | necessarily, one arrived at through parental agreement; |
---|
5358 | 5358 | | (7) geographic distance between the parents' |
---|
5359 | 5359 | | residences; |
---|
5360 | 5360 | | (8) willingness or ability of the parents to |
---|
5361 | 5361 | | communicate, cooperate or agree on issues regarding the child's |
---|
5362 | 5362 | | needs; and |

5390 | 5390 | | 25 |
---|
5391 | 5391 | | (9) whether a judicial adjudication has been |
---|
5392 | 5392 | | made in a prior or the present proceeding that [either ] a |
---|
5393 | 5393 | | parent or other person seeking custody has engaged in one or |
---|
5394 | 5394 | | more acts of domestic abuse against the child, a parent of the |
---|
5395 | 5395 | | child or other household member. If a determination is made |
---|
5396 | 5396 | | that domestic abuse has occurred, the court shall set forth |
---|
5397 | 5397 | | findings that the custody or visitation ordered by the court |
---|
5398 | 5398 | | adequately protects the child, the abused parent or other |
---|
5399 | 5399 | | household member. |
---|
5400 | 5400 | | C. In any proceeding in which the custody of a |
---|
5401 | 5401 | | child is at issue, the court shall not prefer one parent as a |
---|
5402 | 5402 | | custodian solely because of gender. |
---|
5403 | 5403 | | D. In any case in which the parents agree to a form |
---|
5404 | 5404 | | of custody, the court should award custody consistent with the |
---|
5405 | 5405 | | agreement unless the court determines that such agreement is |
---|
5406 | 5406 | | not in the best interests of the child. |
---|
5407 | 5407 | | E. In making an order of joint custody, the court |
---|
5408 | 5408 | | may specify the circumstances, if any, under which the consent |
---|
5409 | 5409 | | of [both legal custodians ] each legal custodian is required to |
---|
5410 | 5410 | | be obtained in order to exercise legal control of the child and |
---|
5411 | 5411 | | the consequences of the failure to obtain mutual consent. |
---|
5412 | 5412 | | F. When joint custody is awarded, the court shall |
---|
5413 | 5413 | | approve a parenting plan for the implementation of the |
---|
5414 | 5414 | | prospective custody arrangement prior to the award of joint |
---|
5415 | 5415 | | custody. The parenting plan shall include a division of a |

---|
5450 | 5450 | | responsibilities; |
---|
5451 | 5451 | | (3) methods of communicating information about |
---|
5452 | 5452 | | the child, transporting the child, exchanging care for the |
---|
5453 | 5453 | | child and maintaining telephone and mail contact between parent |

5454 | 5454 | | and child; |

5455 | 5455 | | (4) procedures for future decision-making, |

5456 | 5456 | | including procedures for dispute resolution; and |
---|
5457 | 5457 | | (5) other statements regarding the welfare of |

5458 | 5458 | | the child or designed to clarify and facilitate parenting under |
---|
5459 | 5459 | | joint custody arrangements. |
---|
5460 | 5460 | | In a case where joint custody is not agreed to or |
---|
5461 | 5461 | | necessary aspects of the parenting plan are contested, the |
---|
5462 | 5462 | | parties shall each submit parenting plans. The court may |
---|
5463 | 5463 | | accept the plan proposed by [either ] a party or it may combine |
---|
5464 | 5464 | | or revise these plans as it deems necessary in the child's best |
---|
5465 | 5465 | | interests. The time of filing of parenting plans shall be set |

5466 | 5466 | | by local rule. A plan adopted by the court shall be entered as |

5498 | 5498 | | use auxiliary services such as professional evaluation by |
---|
5499 | 5499 | | application of Rule [706 ] 11-706 of the New Mexico Rules of |
---|
5500 | 5500 | | Evidence or Rule [53] 1-053 of the Rules of Civil Procedure for |
---|
5501 | 5501 | | the District Courts. |
---|
5502 | 5502 | | H. Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, |
---|
5503 | 5503 | | access to records and information pertaining to a minor child, |
---|
5504 | 5504 | | including medical, dental and school records, shall not be |
---|
5505 | 5505 | | denied to a parent because that parent is not the child's |
---|
5506 | 5506 | | physical custodial parent or because that parent is not a joint |
---|
5507 | 5507 | | custodial parent. |
---|
5508 | 5508 | | I. Whenever a request for joint custody is granted |
---|
5509 | 5509 | | or denied, the court shall state in its decision its basis for |
---|
5510 | 5510 | | granting or denying the request for joint custody. A statement |
---|
5511 | 5511 | | that joint custody is or is not in the best interests of the |
---|
5512 | 5512 | | child is not sufficient to meet the requirements of this |
---|
5513 | 5513 | | subsection. |
---|
5514 | 5514 | | J. An award of joint custody means that: |
---|
5515 | 5515 | | (1) each parent shall have significant, well- |
---|
5516 | 5516 | | defined periods of responsibility for the child; |
---|
