North Carolina Child Support Guidelines Attorneys
The expense of raising children makes child support a necessity in most cases. You want to make certain that child support payments are fair. That is why you need to choose an experienced lawyer who understands the guidelines used to determine support, who understands when looking beyond those guidelines is necessary to do what is right.
At Weaver, Bennett & Bland, P.A., in Matthews, we have more than 30 years of experience helping people in Union County and the Charlotte area. We understand that the bottom line is getting your child the financial support necessary.
Child Support Guidelines
North Carolina child support guidelines are based on the incomes of both parents, childcare costs, custody arrangements and other factors. In most cases, determining child support is as simple as entering numbers into the formula.
The real challenge is making certain the numbers are accurate. If one spouse is self-employed, for example, finding out the amount of income that should be entered into the formula can be challenging. Our experience means we are up to that challenge.
Deviations From the Guidelines
In special situations, the guidelines may need to be deviated from. For example, if a child has special needs or a serious medical condition, the traditional child support formula may not be sufficient to meet the child's financial needs. Our attorneys will ask the court to vary from guidelines and grant a deviation if there is a special situation.
Post-Decree Modification
If there has been a substantial change in financial circumstances since your divorce, our lawyers will help you submit a motion to modify terms of support. Examples of a substantial change include job loss, remarriage or the birth of a new child.
