Yes, North Carolina law allows spouses to include modification or elimination of spousal support in their prenuptial agreement.

What Is Child Support Enforcement?

Tue, 29 May 2007 21:19:00 GMT

Child support enforcement agents help locate absent parents and assist in establishing paternity and getting child support payments ordered by the courts.

Once court orders have been established, child support payments are receipted at the Centralized Collection Operation.

To enforce a court order, a child support agent can initiate legal action against the nonpaying parent, withhold support payments from the nonpaying parents` wages and intercept their tax refunds.

A statewide computer system called the Automated Collection and Tracking System (ACTS) is helping the state collect more child support, locate more absent parents and establish more child support orders. This system receives and shares data with more than 30 state, federal and private agencies.

The Child Support Enforcement office`s Centralized Collections operation manages the collection and disbursement of all child support orders in the state.

For more information about the program, please visit the Child Support Enforcement page. In addition to the CSE program, private attorneys and the county Clerks of Superior Court offer certain support services. For more information on these services, contact these offices individually.
