Child support in North Carolina
Child support determinations in NC are generally based on North Carolina Child Support Guidelines, which use an algorithm to determine the presumed child support. While support will normally be based on this calculation, there are exceptions. It is important to consult with an experienced attorney to protect your rights. We will review the facts and variables in your situation and determine whether we can help you in your case.
Spousal support in North Carolina
Spousal support determinations are based on statutes, but it requires a strategic approach by an experienced attorney. There are no guidelines and determinations are based on a unique analysis of every case. The court may consider the education and earning capacity of both parties, health, accustomed standard of living, and instances of adultery or other factors that may have caused the dissolution of the marriage.
Modifications to support orders
If you have an existing child support or spousal support order and have undergone a change in circumstances (job loss, injury, etc.) that has left you unable to pay or in need of additional support, we can assess your case to see if grounds exist to seek a modification to an original order. Please contact us directly for more information about modifications to child support or spousal support.
