What New Mexico expects
New Mexico presumes joint custody and requires a parenting plan setting out how major decisions get made.
Governing law: NMSA § 40-4-9.1.
The honest trade-off
Exchanges land on the same two days every week, which makes it easy to remember, and no one waits more than four nights. The trade is that which parent has the weekend flips each week, so weekend plans need a two-week memory.
