How can I modify my child support?

In North Carolina, you can modify your child support payments if there has been a significant change in circumstances. This could be either the income of the payor or the need of the payee. To modify a child support order, you must go to court and file a Motion to Modify. Both parties will need to provide financial information, such as income, tax returns, and other evidence of financial status. The court will take into consideration factors such as the income of the payor, the needs of the child, medical expenses, childcare expenses, and the living arrangement of the child to determine if there has been a substantial change in circumstances. After considering all factors, the court will then decide if the current order should be modified. If the court decides to modify the current order, it will provide details of the revised order, including the amount of the child support payments and the dates for payment. It is important to follow the new order as failure to comply could lead to a contempt of court action. If you need more information on the process of modifying child support, you can contact a local family law attorney. They will be able to provide you with specific legal advice on your situation.
