How is child support calculated in North Carolina?
North Carolina uses the Child Support Guidelines, which consider income, child-related expenses, custody schedules, and healthcare costs.
Can child support be modified?
Yes. Support can be changed if there is a substantial change in circumstances, such as job loss, increased expenses, or medical needs.
What happens if a parent does not pay child support?
The court can take enforcement actions, including wage garnishment, tax refund interception, driver’s license suspension, or contempt proceedings.
Does child support cover more than basic needs?
Yes. Child support may include healthcare, childcare costs, education expenses, extracurricular activities, and other necessary costs.
If we share custody, do I still pay child support?
Possibly. Child support depends on income and parenting time—not just custody labels. We help you understand what applies to your situation.
Can child support be agreed upon without court?
Yes, parents can reach an agreement, but it must be approved by the court to be enforceable.
