Alimony Child Support in New Hampshire

New Hampshire treats alimony and child support as entirely separate legal obligations, with child support calculated under RSA § 458-C and alimony governed by RSA § 458:19 and § 458:19-aa. Child support follows a formula based on parental income and parenting time, but the statute sets out specific factors and exceptions that may apply. Alimony is not automatic; a court considers several statutory factors before awarding it. No fixed percentage of income is assigned to either obligation by statute. The official source at the New Hampshire General Court website contains the full text of the law. To estimate a result under the guidelines, the DocketMath calculator applies the governing rules and allows a user to input their own circumstances for a specific calculation.
