The financial support of a minor child is designed to meet the child's reasonable need for health, education, and maintenance. In most child support cases, the North Carolina Child Support Guidelines are used. These guidelines take into consideration the income of the parties and the present child custody arrangement. Our attorneys have extensive experience in applying the Child Support Guidelines.
Our attorneys also have experience in other issues relating to child support, including but not limited to actions to modify child support, actions for contempt for failure to pay child support, actions to deviate from the presumptive North Carolina Child Support Guideline, appropriate allocation of medical expenses for the children, and child support litigation involving high income parents.
