We ask that you take the Kinship Pledge: I pledge to honor and respect the diverse cultures, traditions, and histories of Indigenous communities in New Mexico. I pledge to actively listen to the voices of Indigenous youth, recognizing their lived experiences and the impact of historical trauma on their mental health.
New Mexico law ( 40-4-9 B) states that: If the minor is fourteen years of age or older, the court shall consider the desires of the minor as to with whom he wishes to live before awarding custody of such minor.
There are legal forms to do this. You may do this on a temporary basis with a legal document called Guardianship or permanently. I would see a lawyer to help you with this and if you cannot afford one, go to legal aid in your county. You do not have to go to court.
The Kinship Guardianship Act is intended to address those cases where a parent has left a child or children in the care of another for 90 consecutive days and that arrangement leaves the child or children without appropriate care, guidance, or supervision.
The difference between kinship and guardianship is that kinship refers to relatives, while guardianship is legal custody. Kinship can involve a wide variety of relatives who are blood or adopted family of the person.
