Using 507 divorce records, this study determines whether or not factors, such as parents' socioeconomics, child custody decisions, and characteristics of the legal system, affect the manner in which child support guidelines are applied in an urban and rural courthouse in New Hampshire. Stepwise logistic regressions found individual factors within the two broad categories of socioeconomics and child custody decisions to differ in these two courthouses. Factors, such as father's income, fathers granted the marital home, fathers with solo physical custody, and parents granted joint physical custody, increased the log odds of a departure from the guidelines in the urban courthouse. While the self-employment status of fathers increased the log odds of a departure from the guidelines, mothers with solo physical custody decreased the log odds of a departure from the guidelines in the rural courthouse.
