Guideline child support scenarios at $750 a week
The paying parent earns $750 a week ($3,250.00 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 | $555.00 | $845.00 | $1,022.00 |
| $2,000 a month | $526.19 | $794.86 | $952.71 |
| $4,000 a month | $449.62 | $672.41 | $798.38 |
| $6,000 a month | $396.32 | $589.22 | $695.32 |
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 worksheet line this page does not cross
New Mexico 2024 schedule uses Worksheet A for the standard case, and it switches to a shared-responsibility Worksheet B once the parents share time enough to cross 128 days. The switch changes how the obligation is divided, so crossing it is a real fork in the calculation.
This page family fixes the paying parent at zero days, which keeps every scenario on Worksheet A. The disclosure matters because a parent at 128 days or more would run Worksheet B, not the numbers shown here.
Reading Worksheet A at the fixed baseline
Every cell below is the Worksheet A result at zero payer days. The other parent income moves the number, so the four rows differ, but the worksheet itself is fixed throughout.
A parent with 128 days or more of shared time would need Worksheet B, which is a different calculation. This page does not attempt it.
What this estimate includes
- The Worksheet A result at the zero-day baseline
- A clear statement of the 128-day switch point
- 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
- Child care and health insurance add-ons
- Court-ordered deviations from the guideline amount
Worth knowing
The 128-day boundary is a precise, checkable line, which is why this page names it directly. A reader can compare their own days against it immediately.
Because the baseline is zero days, the page shows only Worksheet A. The higher-income and shared-time behavior of New Mexico support lives on the full calculator.
Frequently asked questions
When does New Mexico switch worksheets?
At 128 days of shared time, the guidelines move a case from Worksheet A to the shared-responsibility Worksheet B, which divides the obligation differently.
Why does this page stay on Worksheet A?
This page family fixes the paying parent at zero days, the sole-custody baseline. At zero days the case never reaches the 128-day switch, so Worksheet A applies throughout.
Does the other parent income change the result at $750 a week?
Yes. For one child the obligation falls from $555 to $396.32 as the other parent income rises from none to $6,000 a month, with the two and three-child columns moving similarly.
What would change at 128 days?
The case would run Worksheet B, which shares the obligation differently to account for the shared time. The result can differ from the Worksheet A figures on this page.
Is the self-support reserve still relevant here?
It is part of the 2024 schedule, but at $750 a week its flattening effect is weaker than at $500 a week, which is why the columns move more freely on this page.
Where can I run a case at or above 128 days?
The full New Mexico child support calculator on this site accepts days, and the 2024 guidelines linked in the sources describe the Worksheet B switch.
About the numbers on this page
