FAQ
North Carolina doesn't provide a formula for calculating postseparation support or alimony. Instead, judges use their best judgment after considering the circumstances in each particular case. But the specific considerations that will go into their decisions are different for postseparation support and alimony.
North Carolina law does not have a formula for setting alimony. The judge decides how much alimony is appropriate after analyzing many factors. If support is awarded, the court also determines whether the support will be temporary or ongoing.
The duration of the marriage, mental and emotional state of the spouse and issues of marital misconduct (such as infidelity) are among other elements considered in the awarding of alimony. There is no precise formula for determining how much alimony a spouse will be awarded in a divorce case.
40% of the high earner's net monthly income minus 50% of the low earner's net monthly income. For instance, if Spouse A earns $5,000 per month and Spouse B earns $2,500 per month, temporary spousal support might be calculated as follows: 40% of $5,000 = $2,000. 50% of $2,500 = $1,250.
Child support is never deductible and isn't considered income. Additionally, if a divorce or separation instrument provides for alimony and child support, and the payer spouse pays less than the total required, the payments apply to child support first. Only the remaining amount is considered alimony.
Adultery. Abandonment. Reckless spending, such as gambling assets. Physical, emotional, or verbal abuse.
In order to receive termination of alimony, you should obtain necessary evidence of life changes, such as your spouse remarrying, becoming deceased, or cohabitation. A judge may not grant termination in other changed circumstances.
If the court finds that the paying spouse committed adultery, the court must award the supported spouse alimony. However, if the court finds that the supported spouse or both spouses committed adultery, the court will use its discretion to award or deny alimony.
If you mean the custodial parent and child live in another state from the noncustodial parent, yes, you can. Make an appointment at your local state child support enforcement office. They will tell you what information to bring with you to the appointment. They will do all the filing.
