AN ACT
RELATING TO DOMESTIC AFFAIRS; REVISING THE BASIC CHILD SUPPORT
SCHEDULE.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO:
Section 1. Section 40-4-11.1 NMSA 1978 (being Laws
1988, Chapter 87, Section 2, as amended) is amended to read:
"40-4-11.1. CHILD SUPPORT--GUIDELINES.--
A. In any action to establish or modify child
support, the child support guidelines as set forth in this
section shall be applied to determine the child support due
and shall be a rebuttable presumption for the amount of such
child support. Every decree or judgment of child support that
deviates from the guideline amount shall contain a statement
of the reasons for the deviation.
B. The purposes of the child support guidelines
are to:
(1) establish as state policy an adequate
standard of support for children, subject to the ability of
parents to pay;
(2) make awards more equitable by ensuring
more consistent treatment of persons in similar circumstances;
and
(3) improve the efficiency of the court
process by promoting settlements and giving courts and the
pg_0002
HB 412
Page 2
parties guidance in establishing levels of awards.
C. For purposes of the guidelines specified in
this section:
(1) "income" means actual gross income of a
parent if employed to full capacity or potential income if
unemployed or underemployed. Income need not be imputed to
the primary custodial parent actively caring for a child of
the parties who is under the age of six or disabled. If
income is imputed, a reasonable child care expense may be
imputed. The gross income of a parent means only the income
and earnings of that parent and not the income of subsequent
spouses, notwithstanding the community nature of both incomes
after remarriage; and
(2) "gross income" includes income from any
source and includes but is not limited to income from
salaries, wages, tips, commissions, bonuses, dividends,
severance pay, pensions, interest, trust income, annuities,
capital gains, social security benefits, workers' compensation
benefits, unemployment insurance benefits, disability
insurance benefits, significant in-kind benefits that reduce
personal living expenses, prizes and alimony or maintenance
received, provided:
(a) "gross income" shall not include
benefits received from means-tested public assistance programs
or child support received by a parent for the support of other
pg_0003
HB 412
Page 3
children;
(b) for income from self-employment,
rent, royalties, proprietorship of a business or joint
ownership of a partnership or closely held corporation, "gross
income" means gross receipts minus ordinary and necessary
expenses required to produce such income, but ordinary and
necessary expenses do not include expenses determined by the
court to be inappropriate for purposes of calculating child
support;
(c) "gross income" shall not include
the amount of alimony payments actually paid in compliance
with a court order;
(d) "gross income" shall not include
the amount of child support actually paid by a parent in
compliance with a court order for the support of prior
children; and
(e) "gross income" shall not include a
reasonable amount for a parent's obligation to support prior
children who are in that parent's custody. A duty to support
subsequent children is not ordinarily a basis for reducing
support owed to children of the parties but may be a defense
to a child support increase for the children of the parties.
In raising such a defense, a party may use Table A as set
forth in Subsection K of this section to calculate the support
for the subsequent children.
pg_0004
HB 412
Page 4
D. As used in this section:
(1) "children of the parties" means the
natural or adopted child or children of the parties to the
action before the court but shall not include the natural or
adopted child or children of only one of the parties;
(2) "basic visitation" means a custody
arrangement whereby one parent has physical custody and the
other parent has visitation with the children of the parties
less than thirty-five percent of the time. Such arrangements
can exist where the parties share responsibilities pursuant to
Section 40-4-9.1 NMSA 1978; and
(3) "shared responsibility" means a custody
arrangement whereby each parent provides a suitable home for
the children of the parties, when the children of the parties
spend at least thirty-five percent of the year in each home
and the parents significantly share the duties,
responsibilities and expenses of parenting.
E. The basic child support obligation shall be
calculated based on the combined income of both parents and
shall be paid by them proportionately pursuant to Subsection K
of this section.
F. Physical custody adjustments shall be made as
follows:
(1) for basic visitation situations, the
basic child support obligation shall be calculated using the
pg_0005
HB 412
Page 5
basic child support schedule, Worksheet A and instructions
contained in Subsection K of this section. The court may
provide for a partial abatement of child support for
visitations of one month or longer; and
(2) for shared responsibility arrangements,
the basic child support obligation shall be calculated using
the basic child support schedule, Worksheet B and instructions
contained in Subsection K of this section.
G. In shared responsibility situations, each
parent retains the percentage of the basic support obligation
equal to the number of twenty-four-hour days of responsibility
spent by each child with each respective parent divided by
three hundred sixty-five.
H. The cost of providing medical and dental
insurance for the children of the parties and the net
reasonable child-care costs incurred on behalf of these
children due to employment or job search of either parent
shall be paid by each parent in proportion to that parent's
income, in addition to the basic obligation.
I. The child support may also include the payment
of the following expenses not covered by the basic child
support obligation:
(1) any extraordinary medical, dental and
counseling expenses incurred on behalf of the children of the
parties. Such extraordinary expenses are uninsured expenses
pg_0006
HB 412
Page 6
in excess of one hundred dollars ($100) per child per year;
(2) any extraordinary educational expenses
for children of the parties; and
(3) transportation and communication
expenses necessary for long distance visitation or time
sharing.
J. Whenever application of the child support
guidelines set forth in this section requires a person to pay
to another person more than forty percent of the paying
person's gross income for a single child support obligation
for current support, there shall be a presumption of a
substantial hardship, justifying a deviation from the
guidelines.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR WORKSHEET A
Line 1. Gross monthly income:
Includes all income, except TANF, food stamps and supplemental
security income. If a parent pays child support by court
order to other children, subtract from gross income. Use
current income if steady. If income varies a lot from month
to month, use an average of the last twelve months, if
available, or last year's income tax return. Add both
parents' gross incomes and put total under the combined
column.
Line 2. Percentage of Combined Income:
Divide each parent's income by combined income to get that
parent's percentage of combined income.
Lines 3 and 4. Basic Support:
Fill in number of children on worksheet (Line 3). Round
combined income to nearest fifty dollars ($50.00). Look at
the basic child support schedule. In the far left-hand column
of the basic child support schedule, find the rounded combined
income figure. Read across to the column with the correct
number of children. Enter that amount on Line 4.
Line 5. Children's Health and Dental Insurance Premium:
Enter the cost paid by a parent for covering these children
pg_0033
HB 412
Page 33
with medical and dental insurance under that parent's column
on Line 5. Add costs paid by each parent and enter under the
combined column on Line 5.
Line 6. Work-Related Child Care:
Enter the cost paid by each parent for work-related child
care. If the cost varies (for example, between school year
and summer), take the total yearly cost and divide by twelve.
Enter each parent's figure in that parent's column on Line 6.
Add the cost for both parents and enter in the combined column
on Line 6.
Line 7. Additional Expenses:
Enter the amounts paid by each parent for additional expenses
provided by Subsection I of this section on Line 7. Add the
cost for both parents and enter in the combined column on Line
7.
Line 8. Total Support:
Total the basic support amount from Line 4 in the combined
column with the combined column on Lines 5, 6 and 7 and enter
the totals in combined column on Line 8.
Line 9. Each Parent's Obligation:
Multiply the total child support amount on Line 8 by each
parent's percentage share on Line 2, and enter each parent's
dollar share under that parent's column on Line 9.
Line 10. Total Support:
Enter the total amount shown for each parent on Line 8 beside
pg_0034
HB 412
Page 34
the "minus" marks on Line 10.
Line 11. Each Parent's Net Obligation:
For each parent, subtract the amount on Line 10 from the
amount on Line 9. Enter the difference for each parent in
that parent's column on Line 11. The amount in the box "other
parent" is what that parent pays to the custodial parent each
month. Do not subtract the amount on the custodial parent's
Line 11 from the amount in the other parent's box. The
custodial parent is presumed to use the amount in that
parent's column on Line 11 for the children.

children. Enter that amount on Line 4.
Line 5. Shared Responsibility Basic Obligation:
Multiply the basic obligation on Line 4 by 1.5.
Line 6. Each Parent's Share:
Multiply the support amount on Line 5 by each parent's
percentage share on Line 2, and enter each parent's dollar
share under that parent's column on Line 6.
Line 7. Each Parent's Time of Care for Children:
Enter the number of twenty-four-hour days of responsibility
that each parent has each child in a year according to the

by three hundred sixty-five to obtain a percentage.
Line 9. Amount Retained:
Under shared responsibility arrangements, each parent retains
the percentage of the basic support obligation equal to the
number of twenty-four-hour days of responsibility spent by

enter the result on that parent's Line 9. This is the amount
that each parent retains to pay the children's expenses during
that parent's periods of responsibility.

Subtract the amount retained by each parent for direct
expenses (Line 9) from that parent's share (Line 6) and enter
the difference on that parent's Line 10.
Line 11. Amount Transferred for Basic Support:
In shared responsibility situations, both parents are entitled
not only to retain money for direct expenses but also to
receive contributions from the other parent toward those
expenses. Therefore, subtract the smaller amount on Line 10
from the larger amount on Line 10 to arrive at a net amount
transferred for basic support.

provided by Subsection I of this section on Line 14.
Line 15. Total Additional Payments:
For each parent, total the amount paid by that parent for

column on Line 15.
Line 16. Each Parent's Obligation:
Multiply the total additional payments (combined column on
Line 15) by each parent's percentage share of income on Line

payments on that parent's Line 16.
Line 17. Amount Transferred:
Subtract each parent's obligation for additional expenses
(that parent's Line 16) from the total additional payments
made by that parent (that parent's Line 15). The parent with
a "minus" figure pays the other parent the amount on Line 17.
Part 3 - Net Amount Transferred:
Line 18. Combine Lines 11 and 17:
Combine the amount owed by one parent to the other for basic
support (Line 11) and the amount owed by one parent to the

the other owes for additional payments, subtract the smaller
amount from the larger and enter on Line 18. Fill in the
blanks by stating which parent pays and which parent receives
the net amount transferred."
