NC S649

Courts may direct individuals delinquent on child support into job search or work-specific education training as a special condition of a contempt order, as an alternative to incarceration.

Courts must review the person's progress at minimum 30-day intervals, unless the person is enrolled and actively participating in work-specific training.

Work-specific training enrollment cannot exceed six months in duration.

Individuals in work-specific training must pay a minimum of $50.00 monthly in child support, notify the court upon completion of training, and notify the court within 14 days of failing to meet attendance requirements.
