Child Support Attorneys Serving Greensboro Families

Last updated on February 14, 2026

Child support plays a central role in protecting a child’s financial stability after parents separate or divorce. Whether you are seeking support for the first time or facing ongoing payment issues, the process can feel overwhelming without clear direction.

At Bullock Clay & Furr, PLLC, our family law attorneys assist parents throughout Guilford County and the surrounding areas with child support matters at every stage. We focus on practical solutions that reflect each family’s financial circumstances while keeping the child’s needs at the center of every decision.

How Is Child Support Calculated In North Carolina?

North Carolina uses statewide Child Support Guidelines to calculate payment amounts. These guidelines consider both parents’ gross incomes, existing child support obligations, child care costs and health insurance expenses. Courts also evaluate the custody arrangement, since support differs when one parent has primary custody versus shared custody.

In some situations, courts may deviate from the guidelines. This can occur in high-income cases or when strict application would be unfair to the child or either parent. Our attorneys help evaluate whether a guideline deviation may apply.

Common Child Support Situations We Handle At Bullock Clay & Furr, PLLC

Child support issues arise in many different family circumstances. Below are common matters our firm handles for Greensboro-area parents.

  • Establishing Child Support For The First Time: When support has never been set, we assist with gathering income documentation, filing the required court actions and presenting accurate financial information to establish an appropriate order.
  • Child Support When Parents Were Never Married: Unmarried parents often face additional questions regarding paternity and financial responsibility. We help resolve these issues so child support can be properly addressed.
  • Support In Separation Or Divorce Cases: Child support is frequently part of broader family law disputes. Our family law attorneys coordinate support issues alongside custody and property matters to maintain consistency.
  • Support With Shared Or Primary Custody: Support calculations vary based on parenting time. We help parents understand how custody arrangements affect payment obligations.
  • High-Income Or Complex Income Cases: Self-employment income, bonuses or fluctuating earnings require careful financial analysis to reach fair results.

Enforcement And Nonpayment Issues

When support is not paid as ordered, legal enforcement may be necessary. Courts can impose wage withholding, contempt proceedings or other remedies. Addressing nonpayment promptly protects the child and prevents escalating penalties. Our firm can help you pursue enforcement, recover past-due support, and guide you through the court process to secure the payments your child is entitled to.
