The response posted above is based upon the limited factual information made available and is not intended as a full and complete response to the question. The only reliable manner to obtain complete and adequate legal advice is to consult with an attorney, fully explain your situation, and allow the attorney sufficient opportunity to research the applicable law and facts required to render an accurate opinion. The basic information provided above is intended as a public service but a full discussion with an attorney should be undertaken before taking any action.
I am trying to determine if the bottom figure (#9 in the sole custody worksheet, #14 in a joint custody worksheet) is the figure that I should be paying after plugging in gross monthly incomes, child care, and health insurance. I was completely mislead when my wife and I were working on our separation agreement. It has been signed but we never had anyone look at it - I know that was a big mistake. I want to be a big part of my childrens lives but I have been crippled in my ability to do so because of this agreement. Is there anything I can do?
Yes you have identified the correct fields on the form for determing your child support obligation. Changes to the agreement depend on the terms of the agreement. Sometimes the agreement provides for changes or provides an “escape hatch” of some sort. Finally, agreements can be set aside, in limited instances, where there is proof of fraud.
Good luck.

Thanks - Is there a limit to the amount of child support that can be paid based on income? I am paying more than half of my income (after taxes) for child care/support.
There is no specific limit. The guidelines provide the appropriate amount.

Documentation of current income is what is required.

I am looking for a little help reading the worksheets that are on this site and also on ncchildsupport.com. After you fill in everything… Which is the final figure that I should be paying? I’d love an explanation of the entire worksheet too
