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 North Carolina?
In short: you can modify child support, but not simply for holiday spending.
North Carolina only allows modifications when there has been a substantial change in circumstances, such as:
- a major shift in income
- changes in custody time
- new childcare or medical expenses
Holiday gifts, travel, or seasonal costs typically don’t meet the legal threshold. However — you can negotiate holiday-related expenses in a parenting agreement, especially if travel costs are predictable or significant.
