Both parents are required to support their children financially. Unless grounds exist for deviation, North Carolina utilizes child support guidelines, which determine a basic child support obligation for a family based on the incomes of the parties. The child support guidelines worksheet calculations offset the child support amounts of each parent against one another. The parent with more physical custody of the children or less income typically receives child support payments from the other parent. These guidelines create a presumed child support amount but provide a deviation method if certain circumstances are present.
Once child support is legally determined, it is important to enforce compliance with agreement or order. As your circumstances change, it may become necessary to modify your child support arrangements.
