Child Support Articles & Resources

North Carolina calculates child support using the Income Shares model, and the details — which worksheet applies, what counts as income, how healthcare and childcare costs factor in — trip up a lot of parents. This page collects our articles breaking down how the process actually works in Forsyth County and the surrounding counties we serve.

If you’re negotiating a new child support order, responding to a modification request, or dealing with a support obligation that isn’t being paid, these articles are a starting point, not a substitute for representation. For help with your specific situation, visit our Child Support Attorney page to schedule a consultation.
