Child Support Calculations / military or state?

Dear Jimmy:

Greetings. I do not know of a military calculator. He may be speaking about a military subsidy for soldiers with families and children. Nevertheless, if the child lives in North Carolina, the North Carolina Child Support Guidelines are presumptive and therefore apply. Contact the NC Child Support Enforcement agency if he will not agree to pay you the child support you and your child deserve. Best of luck.

My husband and I recently divorced. We have joint custody and he spends less than 10 nights a year with his father. He is in the military and he says that the military child support calculator says he owes me 275 a month. But the state calculator says he owes me 575 a month. Which calculator is correct…the military version or the NC state calculator? Thanks.
