Guideline child support scenarios at $1000 a week
The paying parent earns $1000 a week ($4,333.33 a month) in every cell below. The other parent's monthly income changes across rows, and the number of children changes across columns; both genuinely change the result.Every figure is computed with the real New Mexico guideline engine, the same one behind the full calculator, not a lookup table built for this page.
| Other parent's income | 1 child | 2 children | 3 children |
|---|---|---|---|
| No reported income | $730.00 | $1,098.00 | $1,321.00 |
| $2,000 a month | $650.00 | $979.79 | $1,172.05 |
| $4,000 a month | $561.60 | $842.40 | $1,002.56 |
| $6,000 a month | $510.77 | $755.26 | $886.10 |
Every dollar figure is a monthly amount, the presumptive guideline result before add-ons like child care or health insurance and before any court deviation. "Not available" means the engine behind this site declined to compute that specific combination rather than guess; the reason is shown next to it.
The reserve releases, and the table responds
At $500 a week, the New Mexico self-support-reserve cells held the two and three-child columns flat. By $1,000 a week, $4,333.33 a month, the payer has risen past the range where those cells dominate, and the 2024 schedule responds fully to the combined income.
Every column now moves with the other parent income. For one child the obligation falls from $730 to $510.77 as that income rises from none to $6,000 a month, and the two and three-child columns show the same responsiveness.
Reading a fully responsive New Mexico table
Every cell below is the 2024 schedule result at the fixed Worksheet A baseline. The reserve flattening is gone, so the table reads like a conventional income-shares grid, with each other-parent row producing a distinct figure.
The zero-day baseline keeps the case on Worksheet A, and the 128-day switch remains out of reach for every scenario shown.
What this estimate includes
- The 2024 schedule response across every column
- The fixed Worksheet A baseline at zero payer days
- Results for 1, 2, or 3 children across four other-parent incomes
What it leaves out
- The reserve-cell flattening, which applies only at lower incomes
- The shared-responsibility Worksheet B, used at 128 days or more
- Child care and health insurance add-ons
Worth knowing
The transition from a flattened table at $500 to a fully responsive one at $1,000 is a direct view of how the self-support reserve cells work, since they phase out by income.
Because the reserve has released, this page is the more typical income-shares shape that most states in the series show.
Frequently asked questions
Why does this table move where the $500 page did not?
At $500 a week the self-support-reserve cells held two and three children flat. At $1,000 a week the payer is past that range, so the schedule responds fully to the other parent income.
Does the other parent income change the result at this income?
Yes. For one child the obligation falls from $730 to $510.77 as the other parent income rises from none to $6,000 a month, and the two and three-child columns move more.
Is the Worksheet A baseline still fixed?
Yes. The payer is held at zero days, so the case stays on Worksheet A and the 128-day Worksheet B switch is not reached.
How far does the 2024 schedule go?
The schedule covers the combined incomes on this page and well beyond, so every cell is a normal lookup with no refusal at this income.
What would the official New Mexico calculator show?
The official calculator linked in the sources applies the same 2024 schedule and Worksheet A logic, so a matching entry should agree with the table below.
Where can I see the reserve release happen?
The $500 New Mexico page in this series shows the reserve active, and this page shows it released, which is a useful comparison across income levels.
About the numbers on this page
Every figure in the table above comes from running the real New Mexico child support engine on this site, the same engine and data pack behind the full New Mexico child support calculator. Nothing on this page is a separate estimate or a reimplementation of the math. See the sources below for the statutes and official worksheets behind the New Mexico guideline.
