The North Carolina family courts believe each parent is responsible for supporting their children physically, emotionally, and financially.
The court will evaluate each of the factors necessary to provide for the health, education, and maintenance of the minor children they share.
That financial figure is determined by examining and applying the North Carolina Child Support Guidelines, including:
- Number of children
- Who was awarded primary and secondary custody during the child custody agreement
- Income of both parents
- Healthcare obligations and insurance premiums
- Other expenses, including travel and education
- Other children being supported from previous relationship(s)

Frequently Asked Questions for Our Child Support Attorneys in North Carolina
Can Parents Who Were Never Married Pursue Child Support in North Carolina?
Once child custody decisions are made, either privately by the parents or the family courts, the primary parent is typically awarded child support to help financially provide for the child(ren). Parents do not have to be married to pursue child support from the other parent.
What Can I Do If the Other Parent is Not Paying Child Support?
Once a child support obligation is determined and a court order established, appropriate enforcement actions are mandatory when the noncustodial parent is not complying with the court order. That means you can pursue past due child support through Child Support Services, or by contacting your North Carolina child custody attorney to discuss your legal options.
Can I Withhold Visitation if the Other Parent is Not Paying Child Support?
The short answer is, no. Child custody and child support are two different legal issues. If you and the other parent have a child custody agreement in place, you must comply with the terms of that agreement whether the other parent is paying child support are not. Failure to comply with the custody agreement by withholding visitation can land parents in significant legal trouble with the courts.
