Optional Information

Albuquerque, New Mexico

Already Tried:
I tried on line research and was not successful in finding any legal NM State Statutes on the subject of "how old a child may be before he/she can choose a particular parent to live with".

With all due respect Paul, I am merely a friend of a 40 y.o. mother, still married and living apart from her alcholic husband, and her 11 y.o. daughter
who chooses to and is currently living with her mother. The mother is going to school to become an EMT and has very little income. The father works and provides money to help keep his wife's car running. The daughter doesn't even like to visit her dad because when her mom and dad are together all they do is argue, so the daughter stays in her room and plays video games until it's time to go home with her mom. The dad says he never gets to spend much time with his daughter... HE DOESN'T GET IT!!

A little about me.....
The mother and I are good friends. We've never dated nor slept with one another. I've seen her daughter twice. The last time was yesterday, when they came by to drop off my house key - after caring for my dog during my last motorcycle rally from friday morning to sunday night. In a way, Paul, you and I are alike, we just want to help people. I've made it my life's goal to help as many people as possible, since 1970. My reward is their smile. I'm a 100% service-connected disabled veteran and have always given all to help anyone. Now, I need your help!... so I can help this woman and her daughter. Thank you. Warmest regards, XXXXX.
