Cross references. — For forms approved for use in Kinship Guardianship proceedings, see Civil Forms 4A-501 to 4A-513 NMRA.

Compiler's notes. — The Kinship Guardianship Act, codified as 40-10B-1 to 40-10B-15 NMSA 1978, was originally drafted and enacted to be Chapter 45, Article 5 NMSA 1978, but it was recompiled to Chapter 40 NMSA 1978, as the latter seems a more appropriate placement.

The 2020 amendment, effective May 20, 2020, changed "This act" to "Chapter 40, Article 10B NMSA 1978".
