Universal Citation: 8 NM Admin Code 8.50.107.9
Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 18, September 24, 2024

If the biological parent is under the age of emancipation, and is not otherwise emancipated by law, the Title IV-D agency will take measures to establish parentage and support, as appropriate. If a biological parent is a minor, their parent, legal guardian, or attorney who has entered an appearance on behalf of the minor biological parent may be present at all meetings or discussions between the minor biological parent and the representatives of the Title IV-D agency. The Title IV-D agency will seek to establish parentage. If the alleged minor non-custodial parent is employed, the Title IV-D agency will pursue guideline support. Any order or stipulation will include a requirement that the minor non-custodial parent will notify the Title IV-D agency of their employment and educational status on a regular basis. In uncontested cases, the Title IV-D agency may seek the concurrence of the minor biological parent's parent(s), legal guardian, or attorney. In contested cases, the minor biological parent(s) may request the court to appoint a guardian ad litem. Any legal notices or pleading prepared following the appointment of the guardian ad litem will be sent in accordance with the rules of civil procedure.
