How It Works

Our reliable paperwork preparation service is suitable for uncontested, no-fault divorce cases. This means that spouses have to reach an agreement on the terms of the divorce, as well as be ready to sign the paperwork and participate in the marriage dissolution process.

It also means that there is no need to hire an attorney to prepare for or go through the divorce. With our paperwork preparation service, you will get the right set of filled-out forms for pro se filing by passing a quick online questionnaire.

Although New Mexico online divorce is unavailable for those filing on their own, the instructions you receive along with your divorce packet will help you easily file offline without needing a lawyer.

To file for divorce in New Mexico, take the following steps:


Requirements for an Uncontested Divorce in New Mexico

Filing Requirements

Only lawyers can use the e-filing system at the moment. You can file a Petition along with other documents as a pro se litigant in person with the court clerk’s office in the judicial district where either party resides. Then, serve your spouse with the paperwork, file the rest of the documents, attend the hearing, and get your final decree.

Residency Requirements

To be eligible to file for divorce in the state, you should meet residency requirements outlined in New Mexico statutes. Either spouse must have lived in New Mexico for at least 6 months prior to filing a Petition and have a “domicile” in the state.

Waiting Period

In New Mexico, unlike in many other states, no waiting period is established by the law. However, if you do not meet the state residency requirements, you’ll have to wait until you have lived in NM long enough before you can file the Petition.

Complete Your Divorce Papers Online

You can get a filled-out package of New Mexico divorce papers online after you complete our comprehensive questionnaire. Your answers will help our system select and fill out the right forms for your uncontested, no-fault case.

Make sure you possess accurate information about your marriage and divorce to share in the questionnaire. You must indicate full names, dates of birth, and addresses of both parties and their children, if any, the date and place of your marriage, spouses’ workplace information, and other relevant personal details. Besides, provide information about your income, debts, taxes, insurance, property, etc. Other details may be required depending on your personal situation.

As soon as your New Mexico divorce forms are ready, you’ll be able to receive them online or by mail for a small extra fee. The divorce papers kit will likely contain the following:

  • Petition for Dissolution of Marriage
  • Domestic Relation Information Sheet
  • Marital Settlement Agreement

What if We Have Children?

Our service will work for you if you have minor children as long as you and your spouse are in agreement and have an uncontested, no-fault case. We will provide you with the necessary child-related forms at no extra fee.

Here are some of the things for divorcing parents to consider:

  • If you have a child custody plan, the court is likely to approve it as long as it is lawful and written based on what’s best for your children.
  • Custody is usually determined based on the child’s best interests. The court considers the parent’s wishes, their relationship with their children, and both parties’ mental and physical health.
  • In New Mexico, many divorced parents have joint legal custody and, therefore, make decisions about their kids together. When parents have joint physical custody, it means that a child lives with both parents at a specific schedule. If a child lives with one parent only, the other is often granted visitation rights.
  • If children are of a sufficient age, the judge considers their wishes while making decisions that concern them.
  • New Mexico courts use “percentage of income” and “income share” methods for calculating child support.
