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.

I can not say enough how awesome my experience with Remington & Dixon was. First of all, let me just say I have a bad habit of procrastinating and waiting to the last minute. I literally contacted them the night(not day but the night) before I was due in court and they responded quickly took my information, showed up for court on my behalf ( I did not have to go), and took care of a ticket I had received. No points, no suspension!!!!.......oh but wait it doesn't end there. After court, they sent me an email giving every detail needed regarding my case. Once again I procrastinated on getting an extension. No problem. Remington & Dixon went to court again for me and worked their magic...no joke. They not only got me over a month's extension but got my cost of court fees waived!!!!! Oh yes did I say all this great service came at a very very very affordable price? Well, it most certainly did. While I hope to not need their services again I would most definitely recommend them to friends, family, and strangers!!!!!

I highly recommend Mr. Remington as an attorney. I researched attorneys online and contacted the firm of Remington and Dixon for assistance with dealing with the NC Board of nursing in a licensing matter. Mr. Remington returned my call and I found him knowledgeable and professional. I hired him after our conversation. I went to his office and met him personally and was pleased. He represented my case and guided me thru the whole process. The matter was resolved and I am very grateful for his assistance. I would highly recommend Mr . Remington to any nurses in dealing with the NCBON.
