What factors can affect child support orders in North Carolina?
Several factors can impact child support orders in North Carolina, including:
- The income and earning capacity of both parents
- The number of children involved
- The child custody arrangement (sole custody, joint custody, or split custody)
- Health insurance costs for the children
- Child care expenses
- Extraordinary expenses (such as private school tuition or medical costs)
- Other factors unique to the family’s situation
The North Carolina Child Support Guidelines provide a formula for calculating child support based on these factors, but the court may deviate from the guidelines in certain circumstances to ensure the best interests of the children are met.
