Child support is, unfortunately, not always a one-time determination. As your financial circumstances change, it frequently becomes necessary to petition the court for alterations in the child support arrangements. The State of North Carolina has calculated child support payment guidelines based upon custody categories and the gross income of each party. The awarding of sole , joint or split custody will affect the calculated amount due for child support.

Competent legal advice is important to you and your child or children. There are many variables such as payment of health insurance premiums, payment of private tutoring, schooling or needed counselling for your child or children. Additionally, it is important to consider tax benefits and penalties for different child support options. You have legal rights and protections, which need to be addressed when child support amounts are calculated.
