What are the Child Support Guidelines in NH?

The amount of child support a person owes is based on his or her income and the number of children the individual has. These numbers are calculated into a formula created by the Guidelines that yields the amount of support owed. This number is presumed to be correct. A person is responsible to pay child support until the child reaches the age of 18, graduates high school, marries, or joins the armed services, whichever is later. Child support and alimony are not the same thing and child support cannot be used a substitute for alimony. It is important to note, the child support calculation and laws surrounding same have changed throughout the years so it is important to consult with an attorney to learn about the most updated laws regarding child support.
