40-15-2. Legislative purpose.
The purpose of the Family Preservation Act [ 40-15-1 NMSA 1978] is to confirm the state's policy of support for the family and to emphasize the responsibilities of parents and the state in the healthy development of children and the family as an institution. The Family Preservation Act is also intended to serve as a benchmark against which other legislation may be measured to assess whether it furthers the goals of preserving and enhancing families in New Mexico.
