NEW MEXICO Part 20

Is the cost of work-related day care included in child support?


Yes. The cost of day care incurred to enable a parent to work is included in the child support formula. "Work-related" can also include the cost of daycare for a parent to attend school or job training, if that parent can show that the courses taken are directly related to enhancing that parent's earning potential. A parent cannot include day care or babysitting expenses to attend non-work-related activities.
