New Mexico Supreme Court

Maria Magdalena Aeda, A/k/a Magdalena Giron v. Osamah Aeda

September 20, 20134 N.M. 759

Summary

The New Mexico Supreme Court held that termination of parental rights completely severs the parent‑child relationship, including any child support obligation, and reversed the district court’s order ordering the father to pay support. The Court also held that the statutory provision governing post‑termination support (Sec. 32‑1‑47(C)) does not apply after parental rights are terminated.
