Frequently Asked Questions
We know family law can feel overwhelming—and sometimes, just getting clear answers makes all the difference. Below you’ll find thoughtful responses to the questions we hear most often, designed to help you feel informed, prepared, and empowered as you move forward.
Can I modify child support to cover holiday expenses in NC?
While NC child support guidelines account for general living expenses, they don’t directly include holidays or gifts. However, if holiday costs (like travel or extended parenting time) significantly affect your finances, you may be able to:
- Request a modification if there’s a material change in income or custody.
- Include holiday-related expenses in your custody or settlement agreement.
The key? Plan ahead and address holidays in your parenting agreement from the start. You can negotiate who covers what—whether it's Christmas gifts, Halloween costumes, or summer camps.
