Interlinked Law Firm

It is a common misconception that mothers are favored over fathers in custody cases.

However, New Mexico law is clear that the courts may not use a gender bias when evaluating which parent should have custody.

To have standing, fathers must first establish their paternity in court before they can exercise those rights.

Once paternity is established, fathers can petition for their rights such as:

- Legal custody
- Physical custody
- Visitation
- Involvement in important life decisions
- Paternal grandparent visitation
- Responsibility for the child's emotional and financial needs
