Statesville And Taylorsville Child Support: Ensuring Your Child’s Financial Security

The issue of child support can be a source of stress and uncertainty for parents facing divorce. The experienced family law attorneys at Harbinson Parker understand the importance of creating a fair and comprehensive child support plan that prioritizes your child’s well-being. With over six decades of combined experience, we are committed to guiding you through this process with knowledge and compassion.

Who Pays Child Support In North Carolina?

In North Carolina, the noncustodial parent, typically the parent with whom the child does not primarily reside, is usually ordered to provide financial support. These payments are crucial for covering the child’s basic needs, including housing, food, clothing, education and health care.

Determining Child Support Amounts

The North Carolina Child Support Guidelines establish a formula for calculating child support obligations. This formula considers several factors, including:

  • The income of each parent: Both parents’ gross incomes are factored in to determine their proportional contribution.
  • Child care expenses: Costs associated with child care, such as day care or babysitting, are included.
  • Health insurance costs: Health insurance premiums and any out-of-pocket medical expenses for the child are factored in.
  • Existing child support obligations: If either parent has existing child support obligations for other children, these are considered to avoid overburdening either parent.
  • Special needs of the child: Any special needs the child may have, such as medical conditions or disabilities, are considered when calculating support.

Child support orders can be modified if there is a significant change in circumstances. This could include a change in income for either parent, a change in the child’s needs or a change in the child’s living arrangements.
