Child Support

Laws current as of July 31, 2024

What can I do if the other parent is not paying the court-ordered child support?

The New Mexico Child Support Enforcement Division can help you enforce a child support order. Among other things, they can:

  1. suspend the parent’s driver’s, professional, hunting, fishing, or other licenses;
  2. garnish tax refunds;
  3. place a lien on financial accounts or property;
  4. restrict the issuance of a passport; or
  5. request the court to issue a bench warrant.1
