Child Support Law

If parents (or custodians) are salaried employees whose wages appear on a W-2, setting child support is generally simple. Each parent’s financial support obligation is set by the North Carolina Child Support Guidelines. This is a formula that factors in cost of living for each parent and balances the children’s needs with each parent’s ability to pay support. NC Child Support Enforcement can help a parent establish child support without the need for an attorney. Click here for the official NC Child Support Enforcement Guideline Calculator.

If a parent is self-employed or if the children have special needs, setting child support is not so easy. Child Support Enforcement is probably not the best solution for getting child support established or modified. Because Child Support Enforcement has so many clients, the case workers and county attorneys do not have enough time to dedicate significant attention to one case.

In cases such as these, hiring the right attorney can make a significant difference in your life for years to come.
