Yes it has been ten years however i was not aware of some things until recently however legal aid has offered very little help
Hi ****, I'm sorry to hear about your ongoing challenges. Given that it's been ten years, the statute of limitations for many claims may have passed, but there are exceptions, particularly if you only recently discovered the issues.
Here are a few points:
- **Discovery Rule**: Some statutes allow for the time limit to start from when you discovered the issue.
- **Fraud**: If there was fraudulent concealment, it might extend the statute.
For further assistance, you might consider consulting with a private attorney who specializes in family law and legal malpractice.

Also what if my life was threatened by my x psrtenet not to take him back to court And indeed a himicide involving someone wiith my same name has gone unsolved? Does fear count as a valid reason for te ststutes to have passe
****, I'm sorry to hear about your situation. In New Mexico, fear for your safety can sometimes be considered a valid reason to toll (pause) the statute of limitations under certain circumstances, especially if you can prove that threats prevented you from taking action.
Points to Consider:
- **Tolling Statutes**: Fear for personal safety may toll the statute of limitations.
- **Proof**: Evidence of threats and their impact on your actions is crucial.
For more detailed guidance, it would be best to consult a private attorney who specializes in family law and legal malpractice.
