Answer: I am not licensed in New Mexico or Wisconsin. However generally the court will be entitled to receive jurisdiction once the child and primary parent have been in the state for 6+ months. You should file a Motion to Reister Foreign Judgment, with respect to your divorce Decree. Then you can file a motion to modify regarding the need to transfer the right to determine the residence of the children with your local court.
