Child Support Calculator—The calculation of child support is governed by the North Carolina Child Support Guidelines established by the Conference of Chief District Court Judges.
The child support worksheets were developed by the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC). To view the North Carolina Child Support Guidelines, effective October 1, 2006, visit the AOC website at www.nccourts.org. A child support calculator and the North Carolina Child Support Guidelines are available on the North Carolina Child Support Enforcement website.
As a general rule, child support will be set by the court using the guideline amount unless the court determines that a variance is needed because the guideline amount produces too much or inadequate child support or is otherwise unreasonable.
