Most states did not rewrite their child support formula for 2026. What usually changes each year are dollar figures: poverty-guideline thresholds, income caps and schedules. Below is what we found for each state we cover, with a link to its calculator.
Each summary comes from the "new laws" section of that state's calculator page, which cites the statute, court rule or agency schedule it is based on. We only report a change when we found an official source for it. Where we found no change, we say so. A new guideline normally applies to new orders and modifications. It does not automatically change an order you already have.
This page is general information, not legal advice. Check the official source linked on your state's page, and ask your state's child support agency or a licensed attorney about your case.
