This is an estimate for information only — not legal advice, and not a court calculation. Judges can and do deviate from guideline amounts. For the number a court would use, see North Carolina Child Support Guidelines, AOC-A-162 Rev. 1/23.
This number is a snapshot. Child support depends on parenting time, and parenting time drifts — swapped weekends, changed holidays, summer schedules. Vireo keeps the custody calendar, messages and shared expenses in one timestamped record, so what actually happened is never a matter of memory.

Use the schedule at combined adjusted gross monthly income and child count, allocate by income shares, then account for child care, health insurance, and extraordinary expenses. Worksheet A is primary custody; Worksheet B uses both parents' overnights and duplicated expenses; Worksheet C offsets split-custody obligations.
How income is counted: Actual gross income from any source, including employment, self-employment, benefits, and other listed receipts, subject to express exclusions and deductions for preexisting child support and responsibility for other children.
