8.50.107.10 DETERMINATION OF PARENTAGE THROUGH VOLUNTARY ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF PATERNITY:

State and federal laws provide for voluntary acknowledgment of paternity after the birth of a child. A man is determined to be the natural father of a child if he and the mother acknowledge parentage by filing a written acknowledgment with the vital statistics bureau of the public health division of the department of health, in accordance with the requirements of Article 3 of the New Mexico Uniform Parentage Act.

8.50.107.12 GENETIC TESTING:

A. The IV-D agency provides genetic testing services, as appropriate. The IV-D agency will not provide genetic testing services when parentage has already been adjudicated unless ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction to do so. The IV-D agency will seek the admission into evidence, for purposes of establishing parentage, the results of a genetic test that are performed by a laboratory contracted with the IV-D agency to provide this specific service, unless the results are otherwise stipulated to by the parties. Any party to a IV-D case may seek genetic testing outside of the IV-D agency, at his or her own expense and obtain a genetic test and report in compliance with NMSA 1978, Sections 40-11A-503 to 504. The IV-D agency will not present or introduce into evidence the results of a genetic test report obtained through a laboratory not contracted with the IV-D agency. [More]
