New Mexico Supreme Court

Soon v. Kammann

July 25, 2024557 P.3d 104

Summary

The New Mexico Supreme Court held that a party’s admission of non‑genetic parentage does not rebut the marital presumption of parentage under the Uniform Parentage Act and that the presumption remains unrebutted absent admissible genetic‑testing results following statutory procedures. The Court affirmed the Court of Appeals, finding the district court erred by ignoring the best‑interest‑of‑the‑child requirements for genetic testing.
