Understanding Child Support Laws with Jonathan Breeden

Welcome to a special edition of The Best of Johnston County Podcast, where we dive into a topic close to many of our hearts: family law, with a particular focus on child support. For this episode, we’ve departed from our usual format of interviewing community leaders and local heroes to bring you an “Ask Anything” session, aimed at shedding light on how child support is calculated, the consequences of non-payment, and much more.

Our discussions revolve around the intricate details of child support laws in North Carolina, a subject that touches the lives of many in our community. As the person behind the mic, my goal is to navigate these discussions in a way that brings clarity and helpful information to you, making the often complex territory of family law a bit more navigable.

A Deep Dive into Child Support Calculation

One of the most common questions we tackle is: “How is child support calculated?” Understanding that this is a fundamental concern for many, we explore the North Carolina Child Support Guidelines, discussing how the Conference of District Court Judges updates these guidelines every three years. We look into the inputs considered in determining what it costs to raise a child in our state, including housing, food, and other essential expenses.

The Consequences of Not Paying Child Support

Another vital topic we cover is what happens if child support isn’t paid. Many aren’t aware of the severe consequences that can follow, from being found in contempt of court to wage garnishment and even losing a passport. It’s crucial information for anyone navigating these waters, providing a stark reminder of the importance of adhering to child support orders.

The Process of Review and Modification

Life is ever-changing, and so are financial situations. We discuss how child support orders can be reviewed and modified, considering life events that significantly impact one’s ability to pay. Whether it’s a job loss, a change in custody arrangements, or income fluctuation, understanding how to approach the review process is key to ensuring that child support obligations remain fair and manageable.

Through this episode, the aim is to offer a comprehensive understanding of child support in North Carolina, removing the shroud of confusion and uncertainty that often surrounds this important topic.
