HOW NC CALCULATES SUPPORT
- NC uses the Income Shares Model — both parents' gross income combined
- Each parent's share is proportional to their share of combined income
- Worksheets A (primary), B (shared), C (split) — court selects based on custody
- Deductions allowed: work-related child care, health insurance premiums
- Official NC Worksheet: nccourts.gov forms →
INCOME WITHHOLDING
- NC courts routinely enter Income Withholding Orders simultaneously with support orders
- Employer deducts support from each paycheck and sends to NC Child Support Services
- Request it in your complaint — it's the most reliable enforcement mechanism
NEED AN ATTORNEY?
- Support amounts are set for years — small errors in income calculation compound over time
- Self-employment income requires careful documentation
