Current Guidelines (Effective October 1, 2008)
The North Dakota Department of Human Services has established child support guidelines to be used by courts in determining the amount a parent should be expected to contribute toward the support of a child. These guidelines apply in any action in North Dakota in which a child support obligation is being established or changed.
Note: The current guidelines (effective October 1, 2008) replace the previous guidelines (effective through September 30, 2008). Both current and previous guidelines are available below. A document that shows the changes made to the previous guidelines, resulting in the current guidelines, is also available. On this document, deleted text is shown by strike-through and new text is underscored. The last document that is available below is a fact sheet summarizing the changes made to the previous guidelines.
