CHILDREN'S CODE PROCEEDING FILING FEES

Summary

The measure amends New Mexico law so that filing fees for any Children’s Code proceeding are paid out of court funds, not by the child, the child’s family, or anyone filing on the child’s behalf. It also bars those parties from being charged court costs, fees, or fines under the Delinquency Act, while allowing courts to order financially able parents to contribute to a child’s support and treatment when the child is in state custody.
