How North Carolina child support works
Child support follows presumptive income-shares guidelines published by the Conference of Chief District Court Judges (the current edition took effect January 1, 2023): both parents' incomes combine, a schedule yields the basic obligation, and Worksheets A, B, or C apply depending on the custody arrangement.
The honesty note
The official guidelines instrument controls — including its self-support reserve and its worksheet thresholds — and the Conference reviews it periodically; verify the current edition on the official page before relying on any figure.

Legal information, not legal advice. Statements about county or district practice defer to your county's local rules and the clerk — where this platform has no verified county data, it says so instead of guessing.
