Child support in Greenville: how it is calculated
Child support in Greenville is set by North Carolina's statewide guidelines — Pitt County courts apply the same table as every other county. Here is the calculation, with the statute it comes from.
Where a Greenville case goes
A Greenville case is filed in the North Carolina court for Pitt County, which applies the state guideline below. Local practice affects timing and paperwork, not the guideline amount. Greenville has about 95,138 residents (Census Bureau, 2024 estimate).

Does Greenville have its own rule?
No. N.C. Child Support Guidelines, Schedule of Basic Support Obligations (AOC-A-162, Rev. 1/23, eff. Jan. 1, 2023); G.S. 50-13.4(c) applies across North Carolina, so a case from Greenville is decided by the same numbers as one filed anywhere else in the state. What changes locally is the courthouse, the clerk's procedure and how long the docket takes — not the amount.
What the statute says
N.C. Child Support Guidelines, Schedule of Basic Support Obligations (AOC-A-162, Rev. 1/23, eff. Jan. 1, 2023); G.S. 50-13.4(c) — North Carolina schedule of basic support obligations (income shares, combined adjusted gross income). North Carolina uses the parents' combined monthly ADJUSTED GROSS income (gross income less pre-existing support and responsibility for other children). The 2023 Schedule of Basic Support Obligations in the Child Support Guidelines (AOC-A-162, Rev. 1/23, effective January 1, 2023) covers $0 to $40,000 in $50 steps and the Guidelines say to interpolate between rows; the first band ($0-$1,300) is the $50 minimum order. The schedule's shaded low-income area builds in a self-support reserve tied to the federal poverty level: when the paying parent's own income is under $1,150 a $50 minimum order applies, and within the shaded area the obligation is computed on the paying parent's income alone, which this tool does not replicate. Above $40,000 a month ($480,000 a year) support is set by the court under G.S. 50-13.4(c) rather than the schedule, so no percentage is added. Work-related child care, health insurance premiums and extraordinary expenses are added and split by income share, and Worksheets B and C adjust for 123+ overnights or split custody.
