Helping You Understand Separation and Divorce
While in North Carolina, state law dictates that you must be separated for one year before filing for divorce, it does not make you wait a year to resolve divorce issues such as child custody, child support and spousal support. I can help you understand the legal definition of separation, including what you have to do before filing for divorce. For instance, various isolated incidents of being together do not mean that you must start the clock over again.
I will take time to get to know your situation so that I can help you decide how best to proceed. I have a variety of resources and tools that can help you clarify what your needs and interests are and how best to safeguard them.
I help people answer questions that include:
- Do I have to wait a year to divorce?
- Should I seek custody now?
- How can I get child support or spousal support?
- We get along and want our children to have the benefit of both parents raising them and don't want to spend much money on divorce. What do you recommend?
My approach fosters open communication and thorough preparation with an understanding that I will at all times safeguard your interests and seek to anticipate and prevent future problems.
Whether clients proceed with a collaborative divorce, mediation or a more traditional divorce, I am lawyer who is experienced, confident and well-trained to help you resolve your family law matter and move on with your life.
