Dear glyman:
Greetings. You are in a pickle because if child support is paid pursuant to an agreement, you will need to file a Breach of Contract claim to obtain the past due funds and the NC Child Support Enforcement Agency cannot help you with this. If you file with child support enforcement, it is likely that the court will only use his actual income, as they rarely deviate from the child support guidelines. I recommend that you hire an attorney to help you deviate from the guidelines and to try to impute income to your ex. Best of luck.
