Rule 1-079 NMRA, as amended effective December 31, 2025, makes court records subject to public access unless sealed, and domestic relations cases are not among the proceedings the rule seals automatically. The sworn Interim Monthly Income and Expenses Statement, 4A-212, and the Community and Separate Property and Debts Schedules, 4A-214 and 4A-215, are served on the other party and not filed, so the public file holds the petition, the Notice of Compliance with Rule 1-123, interim orders, the Marital Settlement Agreement, 4A-301, which divides the property and debt, and the Final Decree.
