Overcome life's challenges with our legal advice.
The inside of a courtroom at the final stage of the adoption process is a joyous moment unlike any other. During that hearing, the adoptive parent(s) and child(ren) formally become a family under New Mexico law. The proceedings are informal and family and friends may photograph this ceremony freely, as the happy new family embraces.
​
Our experience inside and out of the courtroom allows us to consistently deliver exceptional results for the families we represent. With years of practice and dedication to this area of law, we can expertly guide you through the process and get you to adoption day faster.
While every family and their circumstances are unique, there are some common issues that can arise when people are divorcing, separating, or co-parenting. In addition to discussing legal and physical custody, visitation, child support, and co-parenting plans can often create challenges that may need to be resolved, especially when circumstances change or one parent desires to move out-of-state.
We strive to provide approaches that will best address the needs of your family. For some, collaborative mediation may be a possibility that saves everyone time and money. In other cases, such as those involving domestic violence, or where contact with your child is being withheld, zealous representation in court may be more appropriate. Some parents might merely need to revisit or modify old custody orders in order to best meet the needs of their family dynamic. Regardless of the circumstances, you can count on The Ray Law Office to present realistic paths forward to reach long-term solutions for your family.
A Guardian ad Litem may be appointed to represent the best interests of your child in a variety of situations. The Ray Law Office has great respect for the integrity of this process, and the fundamental nature of the interests involved for both parents and children.
