Parrish Collins, Member of Collins & Collins Family Law

A divorce is among the most stressful things you will face.  It is not only emotionally stressful, it can be financially disastrous.  It is important to understand the costs of divorce to you and your family before you begin the process.  Ideally you can obtain a divorce that leaves you both emotionally and financially intact.  This is a goal worth pursuing. 

There are many ways to approach a divorce.  The approach will dictate the outcome and the costs.  Like many other states New Mexico has enacted no-fault divorce statutes. No fault divorce means that there is no need to show spousal misconduct to obtain a divorce.   Unfortunately, fault is often the focal point of the parties.  This approach has severe economic and emotional costs associated with it.
