Uncontested Divorce 

When two people can reach an agreement on alimony, child custody, property division, and every other detail concerning the end of their marriage, an uncontested divorce may be suitable. Typically, this is the faster and less expensive option, but the proceedings will require the guidance of an attorney. We can counsel you on whether an uncontested divorce is your best option, and help you file your paperwork and get your uncontested divorce ratified.

Contested Divorce 

This refers to a split in which neither party can agree on the details of the end of the marriage including alimony, child custody, division of marital property, and more. Sometimes contested divorces go to trial, and often they can be settled out of court through negotiation. We can help you weigh your options, and make ending your marriage as stress-free as possible. 

Child Support

Just because a marriage ends, doesn't mean your financial responsibilities to your children are over. Don't miss out on the financial support that you and your children are entitled to. We can help you navigate the court system and maximize the financial support you deserve. Alternately, if you are responsible for paying child support, it's important that you work with an attorney to ensure that you are not legally responsible for paying more than is feasible or fair. 

Alimony

Divorce doesn't have to mean financial disaster. Courts have typically used alimony to resolve this type of crisis but in some cases, it has become harder to get. We can successfully negotiate alimony payments and work hard to get the financial backing you require.

Property Division

There are no set rules when it comes to splitting marital assets. Homes, cars, property, and more can be divided however a judge sees fit during your divorce. We can make sure the court has the facts before a decision is made. By hiring our firm, we can guarantee that the court has accurate, thorough, and up-to-date information to make a decision that protects your property.

Prenuptial Agreements

This can be a difficult topic to broach, but it ultimately protects your assets as well as those of your partner. Creating a pre-marriage agreement can ensure that your assets are secure in the event of something unexpected. Contact us to discuss options for added security as you begin a new marriage.

Adoption

Adding a new family member is an exciting life moment, albeit sometimes difficult, process. We are here to help walk you through the complex laws surrounding the adoption process in North Carolina. Whether you are a single adult or a couple, we will help ensure all requirements are met to adopt a child and begin enjoying your new family.

This is a long form text area designed for your content that you can fill up with as many words as your heart desires. You can write articles, long mission statements, company policies, executive profiles, company awards/distinctions, office locations, shareholder reports, whitepapers, media mentions and other pieces of content that don’t fit into a shorter, more succinct space.

Articles – Good topics for articles include anything related to your company – recent changes to operations, the latest company softball game – or the industry you’re in. General business trends (think national and even international) are great article fodder, too.

Mission statements – You can tell a lot about a company by its mission statement. Don’t have one? Now might be a good time to create one and post it here. A good mission statement tells you what drives a company to do what it does.

Company policies – Are there company policies that are particularly important to your business? Perhaps your unlimited paternity/maternity leave policy has endeared you to employees across the company. This is a good place to talk about that.

Executive profiles – A company is only as strong as its executive leadership. This is a good place to show off who’s occupying the corner offices. Write a nice bio about each executive that includes what they do, how long they’ve been at it, and what got them to where they are.
