New child support notices for parents
Beginning January 1, 2026, New Hampshire courts must explain at child-support hearings that support is automatically taken from wages unless both parties agree otherwise. The Circuit Court Family Division must develop a standard form for waiving wage withholding, presented before the temporary hearing. The form must explain when withholding becomes mandatory and let both parties state their preferred payment arrangements. It must tell the paying parent that keeping records to prove payments is their responsibility. It must also tell the receiving parent how to report missed payments.
