How Child Support Is Calculated in North Carolina

North Carolina uses state guidelines to determine child support amounts. These guidelines consider factors such as each parent’s income, custody arrangements, and certain child-related expenses. Because every family situation is different, it’s important to ensure that the calculation accurately reflects your circumstances:

  • Each parent's income
  • The number of children involved
  • Custody arrangements and parenting time
  • Health insurance costs for the child
  • Childcare and education expenses

The goal of these guidelines is to ensure that children receive financial support that reflects both parents’ ability to contribute.

However, every family situation is unique, and certain circumstances may justify adjustments to the standard calculations.

What to expect when addressing Child Support

Situations Where We Can Help

Every family situation is unique. Smith Family Law assists clients with a variety of child support matters, including:

Establishing Child Support

When parents separate, child support must often be formally established through the court system. We help ensure the support order reflects the proper financial information and follows North Carolina guidelines.

Modifying Child Support Orders

If your financial situation has changed, or if custody arrangements have been adjusted, it may be possible to request a modification of an existing child support order.

Enforcing Child Support Payments

When a parent fails to make required payments, legal action may be necessary to enforce the court’s order and ensure the child receives the financial support they deserve.

Resolving Child Support Disputes

Disagreements about income, expenses, or parenting time can complicate child support cases. Legal guidance can help resolve these issues and move the case toward a fair outcome.
