How Is Child Support Calculated in North Carolina?

North Carolina uses a statewide formula to determine the amount of child support a non-custodial parent will pay. This formula takes into account the annual gross income of both parents and the number of children they have together, as well as other expenses.

Key Factors in Child Support Estimation

The statewide formula uses the following to estimate child support:

• The gross monthly income of both parents
• Minus any amounts that are specifically excluded by the formula (see below)
• Divided by the total number of children

The formula is based on the idea that both parents should contribute to the support of their children, and it is designed to ensure that children have the same standard of living they had while they were residing with their parents.

In addition to the basic support payment, the formula also allows the court to consider other related factors, such as the cost of health insurance, day care, and special needs expenses. It can also take into account other expenses, such as the cost of college, when the child is 18 years old. Finally, it can also include other factors that the court deems necessary.

A parent's failure to pay child support can lead to wage garnishment and other legal remedies. Parents can also seek attorney's fees and costs in court.

Child support payments are made through the North Carolina Child Support Services (CSS). Parents can go to the CSS website to see their child support information.

What Types of Child Support Are There?

The formula described above is only used for the calculation of the basic support amount. Parents can also agree to a different amount, as long as it is in the best interests of the child.
