Child Support
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
During the year that we are separated, can I receive
child support?
You should not need to wait for child support until
your divorce is filed. In fact, it is best to have a
separation agreement, or some other form of action,
drawn up as early in the separation as possible.
Our attorneys at the Raleigh, North Carolina law
firm of Charles R. Ullman & Associates have
experience and expertise in the North Carolina child
support laws.
I have a better health care plan for covering my
child, and my ex-spouse has agreed to reimburse me
for putting him on it - is this OK?
Generally, the court will consider and authorize all
reasonable agreements made by both parties involved
in child support negotiations.
How can I get a copy of my child support order?
Check with the county in which the divorce or child
support action was filed. You will need to pay for
the copying costs.
My ex-spouse wants part of my overtime for our
child support agreement. Does overtime money count?
That really depends on whether working overtime is a
regular part of employment and how much control the
employee has over whether to work overtime or not.
The court would generally look at work history to
make this determination.
My child's father has made such erratic child
support payments that he now owes us
thousands of dollars - what can I do?
There are many things that can be done, but your
first step is to see a qualified attorney. You will
need to obtain an order for the payment of child
support if you do not have an agreement on file. The
North Carolina courts can order wage assignments or
attachments.
