Maria Isabel Rios v. Juan Manuel Rios
Date: 10-10-2023
Case Number:
Judge: Amber Chavez Baker
Court: 2nd Judicial District Court, Bernalillo County, New Mexico
Plaintiff's Attorney:
Defendant's Attorney:
Description:
Albuquerque, New Mexico family law lawyers represented the parties in a divorce case.
Petitioner Maria Rios appeals an order from the district court dismissing her petition for dissolution of marriage for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Petitioner claims that her purported marriage to Respondent Juan Rios was valid under New Mexico law despite the existence of her prior, lawful marriage in California at the
time of her nuptials with Respondent. Because New Mexico does not recognize marriages that occur when at least one party is otherwise still married, we affirm.
