NORTH CAROLINA Part 59

22. WHAT IF I NEED MORE CHILD SUPPORT THAN THE GUIDELINES SHOW I SHOULD GET?

You can ask for a variance in child support so long as you provide written advance notice to the other side before the hearing.A variance could be needed because of unusually high needs of a child, extremely high or low income of a parent, or several other reasons.It is very important to document the reasons for a variance so that they can be shown clearly to the court in testimony or written evidence.
