Start Your Process


There is no law in New Mexico that says a person must hire a lawyer to prepare divorce or child custody papers. When parties cannot agree on issues involved in separating assets and/or children’s time, it may make sense to hire an attorney. But, for hundreds of couples in New Mexico, it makes more sense to file pro se and spare yourselves the cost and stress of an average divorce. We make it easy for you to create your own divorce forms or custody documents and file them with your local district court. All you have to do is follow the steps and instructions provided.
