Child Support & Alimony
Navigating the financial aspects of a separation, specifically child support and alimony, is critical to establishing stability for yourself and your children post-divorce. New Hampshire law provides clear guidelines and standards aimed at ensuring fairness and adequate resources for all parties.
Child support is the legal obligation of both parents to financially provide for their minor children. In New Hampshire, it is calculated using a structured, standardized approach, with some exceptions. There are a variety of factors that a judge will use to determine which parent will pay child support , how much support will be paid, and for how long it will be paid.
Alimony is financial assistance paid by one spouse to the other after divorce. Alimony is determined on a case-by-case basis based, among other factors, on whether there is a need and the ability to pay.
