S.749

Work Training/Delinquent Child Support

Introduced·3/25/25

North Carolina S749 allows courts to order delinquent child support payers into work-specific training instead of incarceration.

North Carolina S749 modifies child support enforcement by allowing courts to order delinquent payers into work-specific training as an alternative to incarceration. Courts may stay civil contempt orders if an appeal is pending, provided justice requires. The court can direct the delinquent person into job search or specific education training. The court must review the person's progress every 30 days unless they are enrolled in work-specific training. The person must pay a minimum of $50 monthly, notify the court upon training completion, and report any attendance failures within 14 days.
