How Much is Child Support for 1 Kid in New Mexico? A New Mexico court estimates the cost of raising one child at $1,000 per month. The non-custodial parent pays $666 monthly in child support for one child or 66.6% of the total child support obligation.
Child support is the payment that a noncustodial parent has to pay to the custodial parent for bringing up the child. ing to the Census Bureau's last available statistics, the average child support payment is $5,150/year or $430/month.
Interest shall accrue on delinquent child support at the rate of four percent and spousal support at the rate set forth in Section 56-8-4 NMSA 1978 in effect when the support payment becomes due and shall accrue from the date the support is delinquent until the date the support is paid.
In New Mexico, the statute of limitations on a judgment already in place is 14 years. Therefore, if child support is older than 14 years old from a prior judgment there may be a valid defense against payment of obligations older than 14 years old.
New Mexico courts decide custody based on the ?best interests of the child." This is the same standard as most states. What's different in New Mexico is at 14 years old, a court considers the desires of the minor rather than determining custody based on the best interest standard.
