NEW MEXICO Part 4

Service varies on a case by case basis: if the couple is in agreement and the divorce is uncontested from the start, then the Petitioner can serve the Respondent personally. If this action occurs, then the appropriate Appearance and Consent form (form DNM-350) must be filed and signed by the Respondent. If service occurs by mail, then a Summons and Notice of Summons (forms DNM-400 and DNM-450, respectively) must be filed. Finally if service is done through the sheriff or a process server, then the Petitioner must also include form a Summons (DNM-400) and a Return Form (DNM-500).
