When You’re Unsure What Child Support Will Look Like
You’ve been managing work, parenting, and everyday expenses — but the numbers still don’t line up. Bills keep coming and your children’s needs keep growing.
Maybe payments haven’t started yet. Maybe they arrive late — or not at all. Or maybe the order was set years ago and no longer reflects your family’s situation. Either way, it affects more than finances. It affects your sense of stability and peace.
It’s natural to wonder, “What are my options if support isn’t coming — or isn’t enough?”
Child support isn’t just a court order. It’s groceries, school supplies, activities, and the ability to plan month to month with less stress.

Meet the Founder:
Latrice Knighton, Esq.
When I went through my divorce, I remember sitting at the kitchen table, surrounded by bills I didn’t fully understand and questions I couldn’t afford to ignore. I didn’t know what was fair or how to protect what I had worked so hard to build. I just knew I needed clear answers — and a plan that would help me move forward with stability.
That experience changed everything. I saw firsthand how difficult it can be to get honest, practical guidance about income, support, and family law. This experience is hard when you’re already overwhelmed and trying to keep life steady for your children.
Now, after more than 15 years of helping hundreds of clients navigate divorce and child support decisions, I’ve made it my mission to provide the kind of guidance I once needed. I offer clear strategy, practical support, and steady direction — so you don’t have to guess or go it alone.
Because protecting your children and your peace shouldn’t feel impossible. And with the right guidance, it never has to.

Frequently Asked Questions About Child Support Laws
How is child support calculated in North Carolina?
What happens if the other parent doesn’t pay child support?
Can child support be modified after the court order is finalized?
Do both parents have to pay child support payments?
Does child support cover everything my child needs?
Child maintenance is designed to cover basic needs like housing, food, clothing, and education. However, additional expenses such as healthcare, extracurricular activities, or college tuition may require separate arrangements or court-ordered contributions.
Can I get child support if I was never married to my child’s other parent?
Yes. Marriage is not required to establish child maintenance. However, paternity must be legally established before a court order for support can be issued. Our child support attorneys can help you confirm paternity and secure the financial support your child deserves.
