Child support and spousal support (post-separation support and alimony) determinations at the time of divorce can ensure your financial security or become a severe burden if they are unmanageable.

At Morrow Porter Vermitsky & Taylor, PLLC in Winston-Salem, we offer strategic advocacy and support to clients involved in child support and spousal support disputes.

North Carolina Alimony Attorneys

Spousal support determinations are based on statutes, but still require a strategic approach by an experienced attorney. There are no guidelines, so determinations are based on the unique circumstances of each case. The court may consider the education and earning capacity of both parties, their health, accustomed standard of living and instances of adultery or other factors that may have caused the dissolution of the marriage.

Child Support in North Carolina

Child support determinations in North Carolina are generally based on North Carolina Child Support Guidelines, which use an algorithm to determine the presumed child support. While support will normally be based on this calculation, there are exceptions. It is important to consult with an experienced attorney to protect your rights. We will review the facts and variables in your situation and determine whether we can help you in your case.
