Family Law is the area of law concerned with the relationship between people connected by marriage, blood or adoption. Both happy and sad events occur in relationships, and our experienced family lawyers have helped clients in:

Adoption - we can guide you through one of the most significant events in your life with efficiency and enthusiasm.

Pre-nuptial agreements - our goal is to objectively protect our client's premarital assets.

Divorce - we work to help clients fairly divide assets, maintain contact with their children and protect their interests.

Alimony/Spousal Support - we help to protect client's financial rights in developing post-separation (PSS) and alimony agreements.

Child Support - North Carolina law strives to ensure that children receive the same support whether their parents are together or apart.

Child Custody - we help clients to work out equal, joint and sole custody agreements that support the welfare of the child now and in the future.

Asset Division - our attorneys ensure that a comprehensive picture of your marital finances is used to negotiate your best economic situation.

Paternity disputes - we assist mothers and fathers who are seeking to establish parental rights in association with child support, visitation and custody.

Domestic violence - a spouse's rights are violated if they are injured, intimidated, or harassed by the behavior of another spouse. Our attorneys can help to obtain or defend against temporary and permanent restraining orders.

Mediation - we help couples striving for a non-adversarial dissolution of their marriage, especially important when parents are sharing custody of their children.

Marital Separation agreements - we help develop and negotiate agreements that address property division and other issues such as child custody and visitation, division of real and personal property, education, insurance, tax returns, and retirement benefits.

Our sensitivity to client needs helps us gain a better understanding of your goals, while our objectivity enables us to see past an emotional situation to develop strategies that protect your future interests.
