NEW MEXICO Part 27

If I quit my job or take a lower-paying one, can I reduce my child support payment?

No. Voluntarily quitting a job, setting yourself up to get fired, or choosing a lower-paying job does not entitle you to reduce child support, and courts are not likely to tolerate this behavior.


If a court finds that you’ve tried to skirt your child support obligations, it may calculate your child support obligation based on what you earn and "imputed" income, which is money you could be earning based on employment history.
