Child Support
Ensuring your child receives the financial support they deserve.
Understanding Child Support in North Carolina
North Carolina uses State Guidelines to calculate child support based on both parents' incomes, custody arrangements, and the child's needs. Whether you are seeking support or responding to a claim, deLambert Twing, PLLC provides the experienced representation you need to reach a fair outcome.
Child Support Matters We Handle
Calculating Support
North Carolina's guidelines use both parents' gross incomes and the custody schedule to determine a support amount. We ensure all income sources are properly accounted for.
Establishing a Support Order
We help parents establish enforceable child support orders through the court, providing financial security and clarity for both parties.
Modifying Existing Orders
A substantial change in income, custody, or the child's needs may justify a modification. We evaluate your situation and pursue appropriate adjustments.
Enforcing Support Orders
When a parent fails to pay court-ordered support, we pursue enforcement through wage garnishment, contempt proceedings, and other legal remedies.
Deviation from Guidelines
In some cases, a deviation from the standard guidelines is appropriate. We present the evidence needed to support a fair deviation.
Healthcare & Childcare Costs
Child support calculations include healthcare premiums and work-related childcare costs. We ensure these expenses are properly included in your order.
