New Mexico Jurisdiction
My ex-girlfriend appealed an order through the Court of Appeals. The Court of Appeals reversed the timesharing arrangment of that order, and remanded the issue of sole custody. Which was denied in the order she appealed.
Today I received a "MANDATE TO DISTRICT COURT CLERK."
It states and I quote:
"Cost Bill is assessed as follows: Appellant is awarded costs as follows:
Filing Fee: $125
Record Proper: $107.30
Total: $232.30
"
My wife and I are confused as to if it is my ex-girlfirend (Appellant) who pays these fees, or myself (Appellee) who pays these fees.

The party awarded costs receives the right to collect them from the other party. In short -- you pay.
