In North Carolina, a non-custodial parent has the right to regular contact with their child or children. This typically includes phone calls, emails, Skype or other video chats, and visits in person. The non-custodial parent also has the right to full access to all the child’s medical, school, and other records, including the right to be informed of any modifications to the child’s educational program or medical treatments. The non-custodial parent also has the right to participate in major decisions about the child’s education, medical care, and religious upbringing. The non-custodial parent also has the right to access child support and the responsibility to pay child support as ordered by the court. The court will also determine how much money the non-custodial parent is obligated to pay, either through direct payments to the custodial parent or to the North Carolina Child Support Centralized Collections Office. The non-custodial parent also has the right to receive notification of any court proceedings pertaining to the child, including any change in custody or visitation rights and any major life decisions involving the child.
