New Hampshire HB1241 redefines "gross income" for support orders in divorce proceedings to exclude overtime compensation, secondary employment.

New Hampshire HB1241 modifies the definition of "gross income" for purposes of support orders in divorce proceedings. Under the bill, "gross income" now specifically includes income from the primary occupation of a parent, such as wages, salary, commissions, or self-employment earnings regularly received. It explicitly excludes overtime compensation, earnings from secondary employment, and income derived from sources outside of the parent’s primary occupation. This change aims to clarify the income considered in calculating support orders, effective January 1, 2027.
