N.M. Stat. § 40-10A-311
Warrant to take physical custody of child.
(a) Upon the filing of a petition seeking enforcement of a child-custody
determination, the petitioner may file a verified application for the issuance of a warrant
to take physical custody of the child if the child is immediately likely to suffer serious
physical harm or be removed from this state.
(b) If the court, upon the testimony of the petitioner or other witness, finds that the
child is imminently likely to suffer serious physical harm or be removed from this state, it
may issue a warrant to take physical custody of the child. The petition must be heard on
the next judicial day after the warrant is executed unless that date is impossible. In that
event, the court shall hold the hearing on the first judicial day possible. The application
for the warrant must include the statements required by Section 308(b).
(c) A warrant to take physical custody of a child must:
(1)
recite the facts upon which a conclusion of imminent serious physical
harm or removal from the jurisdiction is based;
(2)
direct law enforcement officers to take physical custody of the child
immediately; and
(3)
provide for the placement of the child pending final relief.
(d) The respondent must be served with the petition, warrant and order immediately
after the child is taken into physical custody.
(e) A warrant to take physical custody of a child is enforceable throughout this state.
If the court finds on the basis of the testimony of the petitioner or other witness that a
less intrusive remedy is not effective, it may authorize law enforcement officers to enter
private property to take physical custody of the child. If required by exigent
circumstances of the case, the court may authorize law enforcement officers to make a
forcible entry at any hour.
(f) The court may impose conditions upon placement of a child to ensure the
appearance of the child and the child's custodian.
