Cumberland County/Fort Brag Area Child Support Guidelines
At Hedahl & Radtke Family Law Center, our Fayetteville child support attorneys possess sophisticated knowledge of the state's statutory child support guidelines. The state follows a formula based on the combined income of both parents. The guidelines consider what it would cost to raise a child on the combined income and apportion support based on the formula.
Our dedicated legal team is directed by attorneys Joan E. Hedahl and Debra J. Radtke, who are both Board Certified Family Law Specialists with more than 30 years of experience. We can evaluate your situation and provide guidance based on how the courts may approach your situation.
Comprehensive Child Support Representation
Our lawyers provide comprehensive representation for individuals pursuing child support, as well as for those obligated to pay support. We understand the main components when considering child support. We will review each component to provide thorough guidance tailored to your unique situation. We will review:
- The guideline amount determined using the statutory formula
- Day care expenses
- Medical expenses, including insurance coverage
- Extraordinary expenses such as private school tuition and travel
Additionally, we have extensive experience helping individuals pursue deviations to the standard guidelines. We can help you request a deviation, when appropriate.
Wage Garnishments
In North Carolina, child support payments are normally withheld from wages. It is part of the process and part of almost every child support order. It is mandatory, unless there is a valid and good reason why wages should not be garnished.
It is important to note that in a court order, both parties are responsible for notifying the court if his or her income or employment changes.
