In North Carolina, a scale is used to calculate how much child support can be ordered to pay. They can deviate from scale if they feel you can make more than you do. That being said, I have made on average 1200 to 1400 a month all my life. I have been being charged 380 for CS which scales out to 2200 a month. I can prove that I have only made what I have made with 7 years of tax returns. Can I sue them for a wrongful deviation? One more bit of info... I just moved here from California (2months)and any time I ask previous, they said I have to file a motion in court and there is no way to handle outside of the state.

Where you at the hearing where they changed the amount, and you file an appeal to the amount.

With that being said, normally child support looks at many factors

But 300 is about right for income of 1200 at least in GA and many other states. ( for one child)
