Child Support If You Make $2,000 a Week in New Mexico
At $2,000 a week the reserve flattening is gone and the 128-day Worksheet B switch never begins, so the table is pure Worksheet A response.

Guideline child support scenarios at $2000 a week
The paying parent earns $2000 a week ($8,666.67 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 | $1,097.00 | $1,639.00 | $1,943.00 |
| $2,000 a month | $1,017.25 | $1,501.50 | $1,759.06 |
| $4,000 a month | $949.68 | $1,408.79 | $1,657.84 |
| $6,000 a month | $904.09 | $1,327.77 | $1,547.00 |
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.
Two rules, both out of the picture
The 2024 New Mexico schedule has two features that can change a result: self-support-reserve cells that flatten the obligation at low income, and a switch to shared-responsibility Worksheet B at 128 days. At $2,000 a week the payer is far past the reserve range, so those cells no longer flatten anything.
The 128-day switch is also unreachable, because this page family fixes the payer at zero days and stays on Worksheet A. The result is a fully responsive grid: one child falls from $1,097 to $904.09 as the other parent income rises, with the two and three-child columns moving more.
Reading the responsive grid
Every cell below is the Worksheet A result at zero payer days. The reserve flattening that defined the $500 page has released, so every column responds to the other parent income.
A reader at 128 days or more of shared time would run Worksheet B, which is a different calculation from the Worksheet A grid shown here.
What this estimate includes
- The 2024 schedule response across every column
- A clear statement that the reserve cells are no longer active
- Results for 1, 2, or 3 children across four other-parent incomes
What it leaves out
- The shared-responsibility Worksheet B, used at 128 days or more
- The reserve-cell flattening, which applies only at lower incomes
- Child care and health insurance add-ons
Worth knowing
Comparing this page to the $500 New Mexico page shows both worksheet features in action: the reserve flattening at the bottom of the range and its release at the top.
At this income the table reads as the standard income-shares shape, with the two rules that distinguish New Mexico held entirely out of reach.
Frequently asked questions
Why is this page fully responsive when the $500 page was flat?
The self-support-reserve cells that held the low-income page flat no longer apply at $8,666.67 a month, so the schedule responds fully to the other parent income.
Does the other parent income still matter at this income?
Yes. For one child the obligation falls from $1,097 to $904.09 as the other parent income rises from none to $6,000 a month, with the two and three-child columns moving more.
Why does the 128-day switch stay out of reach?
This page family fixes the payer at zero days, so the case never approaches 128 days and never leaves Worksheet A.
Is there any refusal at this income?
No. Every combination on this page falls within the 2024 schedule, so each cell computes a normal result.
What would a shared-time case look like?
A case at 128 days or more would run the shared-responsibility Worksheet B, which divides the obligation differently from Worksheet A.
Where can I run Worksheet B?
The full New Mexico child support calculator on this site accepts days, and the 2024 guidelines linked in the sources describe the switch.
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.
