N.M. R. Child. Ct. 10-334

As amended through November 1, 2024
Rule 10-334 - Court-ordered discovery

In addition to the disclosures between the parties and for good cause shown, the court may order any discovery permitted by the Children's Court Rules or by Rules of Civil Procedure for the District Court. The court may order or limit production of any books, papers, documents, photographs, tangible objects, reports or other information as may be necessary to ensure a fair consideration of the issues while considering the best interests of the child.

N.M. R. Child. Ct. 10-334

Adopted by Supreme Court Order No. 08-8300-042, effective 1/15/2009.

Committee commentary. - Rule 10-334 NMRA was taken from an existing rule but modified to discourage unnecessary or abusive discovery in Children's Court cases. In most cases, disclosures under Rules 10-331, 10-332, and 10-333 NMRA should be sufficient as between the parties. It is in dealing with non-parties that traditional discovery is most important.
