💰 Child support isn’t arbitrary—it’s calculated.
In North Carolina, child support is determined using state guidelines that consider:
✔️ Each parent’s income
✔️ The child’s needs and expenses
✔️ The amount of parenting time each parent has
While judges typically follow these guidelines, they can deviate from the calculated amount when unique circumstances exist—but they must explain the reasons for doing so.
Questions about child support? Understanding how support is calculated can help you make informed decisions for your family.
