What Are Modifications of Child Support & Enforcement?
Modifications are often necessary to account for changes in circumstances. For example, if the noncustodial parent loses his or her job, the custodial parent may need to seek a modification to reduce the amount of child support owed. A modification may also be needed if the child is no longer attending daycare, which would reduce the amount of child support to be paid.
Enforcement actions are necessary to ensure that a parent pays the court-ordered child support amount. If a parent is failing to make payments, the other parent may need to proceed with an enforcement action to ensure that the child support is paid.
At Teddy, Meekins & Talbert, PLLC, we can help you seek a modification or enforcement action to ensure that you receive the child support to which you are legally entitled.
How Long Do Child Support Orders Last?
In North Carolina, child support orders are typically in place until the child turns 18, graduates from high school, or leaves home. However, parents can agree to have the child support order terminated before the child reaches majority. If the child is disabled, the child support order may be in place for his or her life.
