Navigating North Carolina Child Support Guidelines
Child support in North Carolina is governed by state specific guidelines, making it one of the more straightforward areas of family law in many, but not all, cases. Having an experienced attorney to guide you through the process remains crucial.
How Child Support is Calculated in North Carolina
North Carolina courts use a formula to determine child support obligations. The process considers several factors, including:
- Each parent’s income
- Childcare expenses
- The amount of time the child spends with each parent
- Certain extraordinary expenses
These factors are used to calculate the appropriate child support amount for each parent in cases in which the parents do not earn income above a certain threshold, as set by the North Carolina Child Support Guidelines.
Consequences of Non-Payment of Child Support
While calculating child support payments can be straightforward, difficulties arise when a parent fails to make those payments. Non-payment can lead to serious consequences, including fines and potential jail time.
