Couture Law | New Mexico Family Law, Divorce, and Custody Attorneys

Divorce

Divorce is one of the most difficult experiences a person can have. It is often confusing and complicated. It is vital that you have an attorney that you can trust. At Couture Law, our attorneys have over 20 years of experience. You will rest assured that you can trust us to provide you with the best advice.

Custody

Whether you are married to your child’s other parent or not, you have custody rights. It is vital that you have an attorney who has a deep understanding of the issues that are taken into consideration in a custody case. You need to be able to trust that your attorney is giving you the best advice. The attorneys at Couture Law have over 20 years of experience. You will know that you and your family are in good hands with us.

Child Support

The attorneys at Couture Law have over 20 years of experience. It is vital that your child support is calculated correctly, and all aspects of the calculation have been taken into consideration. When you are with Couture Law, you will know that we advocated for the best outcome for your child support calculation.

Guardianships

If you are caring for someone else’s child, it is important that you obtain a guardianship. In New Mexico, a Kinship Guardianship is the best way for you to protect the child who is depending on you. You do not have to be related to the child to obtain a Kinship Guardianship. If you want to obtain all of the rights and responsibilities of a parent for this child, we can lead you through the process. Our attorneys have over 20 years of experience and will be certain that you and the child are guided through the process by excellent attorneys.

Adoption

If you and the parents of the child that you wish to adopt are in agreement, we can navigate you through the confusing adoption system. Our attorneys have over 20 years of experience and you can be assured that we will take care of you through the entire process.

Will Packages

Make sure that your loved ones know what you want when you can't speak for yourself. We offer will packages that include a Will, Power of Attorney, and Advanced Healthcare Directive/Living Will. With our will package, you can rest assured that whatever happens to you, your loved ones will know what you want them to do for you.

Mediation

Sometimes the courts are not the answer. Litigation is expensive and someone usually loses. Mediation looks for a win-win solution and is usually cheaper and faster than litigation. Whether or not you have already started the court process, mediation is an option that can save time, money and frustration.

Settlement Facilitation

Much like mediation, settlement facilitation is a form of Alternative Dispute Resolution in which we are a neutral expert facilitator to help you and your opposing party in your legal action reach an agreement. Unlike a mediation, we will help you avoid a trial by evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of both sides and guide your negotiation. We do not decide the outcome, but we use our significant mediation, evaluation, and negotiation skills to encourage you and your opposing party to reach a compromise. This can significantly save you time, money, and stress.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I hired Tamara Couture expecting to have a fairly easy divorce with a few minor details that needed to be hammered out.  Literally the day after I hired her my ex-spouse decided to blindside me with numerous false allegations that had me forced out of my house and separated me (temporarily) from my child. Throughout this terrifying process and finding myself suddenly caught up in a system that was treating me as guilty until I proved my innocence, Tamara and the staff at Couture Law, especially Kacey, provided me with invaluable guidance and support (the allegations actually need to be false though, if you're looking for someone to lie for you look elsewhere). Even though the circumstances brought out the worst in me and made me undeniably unpleasant to be around, Tamara never wavered in her support and dedication and saw that I was given the best possible advice and opportunities to succeed. Another thing I appreciate immensely about her is that she does not sugar-coat things and even if something is unfair, she is good at discerning what is and isn't worth your time. If I could do things differently, I just would have put more trust into Tamara.  This was my first time being ground through the gears of the legal system, and with my child on the line I was especially neurotic, if I had known how good of hands I was in the last several months would not have been nearly as stressful. Anyway, if you have the potential for a high-conflict divorce I cannot recommend Couture Law enough.
