Child Support FAQs
How is child support calculated in North Carolina?
Both parents have to pay child support, but the custodial parent is assumed to be paying the required amount by having the children in the home. Generally, the payment is based on the income of the parents and the number of children needing support. There are then worksheets provided for calculations of recommended amounts depending upon whether there is joint, split, or sole physical custody of the child(ren).
What factors are considered in calculating support?
In making its decision, the court will look at the gross income of both parents. The schedule of basic child support obligations is based primarily on the average total household spending for children between birth and age 18. Excluded from this number are work-related childcare costs, health insurance, and unisured healthcare costs over $250.00 per year. The court will also look at each party’s pre-existing support obligations to other children.
What is my income for purposes of calculating child support?
Each parent’s gross income is the actual gross income from any source, including but not limited to income from employment or self-employment, ownership or operation of a business, partnership, or corporation, retirement or pension payments, interest, trusts, annuities, capital gains, Social Security benefits, Workers’ Compensation Benefits, and unemployment benefits. There are some specific exclusions from gross income, such as adoption assistance. Social Security payments for a particular child are handled in a special calculation.
