Your FAQ’s state that if child support is embodied in a sep agreement, the standard for modification requires only that the moving party must show the amount of support necessary to meet the reasonable needs of the child at the time of the hearing. How is this typically done? Is it through the NC support tables based on each parents income/overnights, or is there some other method.

Thank you.
