My question involves a child custody case from the State of: NH

This is a quote taken from Nh's RSA 458-C:2 IV. (b) "The income of either parent's current spouse shall not be considered as gross income to the parent unless the parent resigns from or refuses employment or is voluntarily unemployed or underemployed, in which case the income of the spouse shall be imputed to the parent to the extent that the parent had earned income in his or her usual employment."

Does the last part "...to the extent that the parent had earned income in his or her usual employment." mean that if that person didn't work because they have a child and they stay home that their spouses income would not imputed to them?
No. It is a limitation on the amount of income that will be imputed. Let's say that Art and Becky are the parents of Cindy. Becky is the custodial parent of Becky and has sued Art to contribute child support. Art is skilled as an auto mechanic and was making $60,000/year working for an auto repair shop. Art is married to Denise, a doctor who makes $250,000/year. Art is angry at Becky and swears that she'll not get a dime from him (not withstanding that the support is for the benefit of Cindy, his child) and becomes voluntarily unemployed thinking that with no income of his own that he cannot be tagged with child support. Under the NH statute Denise's income will be imputed to Art, but the language you asked about only imputes that income to the extent of the income Art had been making at his work. In other words, it won't impute all of Denise's $250,000 to Art to determine his obligation; it will instead just impute to him $60,000 of her income to determine what support will be paid.
