Our Comprehensive Divorce Services
One of the most common types of family law cases we handle is divorce. If you believe that your marriage might end soon, it will be helpful to have an experienced and trusted lawyer on your side. Even though some divorces can be relatively straightforward, there will still be several issues that need addressing. As such, it is still important to consult with an attorney even in the event of an uncontested divorce.
If certain issues in your divorce are contested, it is even more critical to have the right attorney. Our legal team regularly assists with contested divorces, and we work to resolve issues as efficiently as possible. The different methods we use to resolve contested issues include:
- Negotiation: We are skilled negotiators who work tirelessly to reach a favorable settlement agreement with your spouse’s attorney.
- Mediation: Many couples benefit from mediation sessions, during which a third-party mediator helps facilitate a compromise. You want to have a lawyer representing and advising you during this process.
- Litigation: If you are unable to reach an out-of-court agreement, you will need to let the judge decide how the matter will be resolved. When this is the case, you will need an experienced litigator to present a persuasive argument in your favor.
We handle complex divorces involving high assets, business interests, child custody battles, and much more.
Other Family Law Issues We Handle
Our experienced attorneys are qualified to handle any family law matter. We regularly work with clients on issues related to:
- Adoption: Whether you are seeking to adopt a child or considering giving your child up for adoption, it is important to protect your legal rights and avoid various potential pitfalls by retaining an attorney.
- Child custody: Disputes related to child custody can be extremely contentious, whether they occur in the context of a divorce or otherwise. Our lawyers are committed to protecting parental rights and resolving child custody disputes as favorably as possible.
- Child support: While child support is set according to a formula, judges have significant discretion. We work with both custodial and non-custodial parents to ensure their child custody arrangement is fair and appropriate.
- Enforcement of court orders: In some cases, it is necessary to take additional action to ensure that court orders are followed. Our team knows how to use the legal system to compel compliance.
- Modification of court orders: When circumstances change, it may warrant modifying an existing court order, including orders related to child support, child custody, and spousal support. Modifying a court order can be difficult, however, so it is critical to work with a reputable attorney.
- Grandparents’ rights: In some cases, grandparents may be able to assert rights regarding their grandchildren. Our team can determine whether you have a case and help you safeguard your rights in court.
- Mediation: Mediation is an alternative to litigation that can save divorcing couples time, money, and stress.
- Property and debt division: All divorcing couples must divide their marital property, assets, and debts in an equitable manner, which can be complicated without the professional guidance of an attorney.
- Restraining orders: If you are the victim of domestic violence, our attorneys can help you obtain the protective orders you need to prevent future abuse.
- Separation agreements: If you are separating but not yet planning to file for divorce, you can benefit from having a separation agreement in place.
- Spousal support: If there is an earning discrepancy between ex-spouses, one might qualify for spousal support payments until they can find gainful employment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Helping You Every Step of the Way-
When hiring a family law attorney, you should look for two things first: experience and personality. You will want to work with a firm with significant family law experience, so nothing about your case will be based on guesses. You will also want to work with an attorney that understands you and genuinely cares about the situation that you are in. Too often, people hire attorneys that aren’t invested in their cases, and it shows.
-
You might need to go to court for a family law case, but you might not. If your case is destined for litigation, then you will need to go to court. However, if your case can be mediated, then you might not have to go to court at all. Even to file the petition or to receive the court’s approval, it might be possible to send a family lawyer in your place.

Most interested parties can access these public court records, either for free or for a small fee.

-
Family law court orders may or may not be permanent, depending on the specific circumstances of the case. In many cases, family law court orders are designed to be final and binding, meaning that they are intended to resolve the legal issues in the case and are not subject to further modification.
For example, a divorce decree that outlines the division of marital property and debt, child custody, and child support may be intended to be a final order that remains in effect unless there is a significant change in circumstances. However, even in these cases, there may be certain provisions of the order that are subject to modification, such as child support or custody arrangements.
In other cases, family law court orders may be temporary, such as an order for temporary child custody or support while a case is pending. These orders are designed to be in effect only for a specific period of time, after which they may be modified or replaced by a final order.
Ultimately, the permanency of a family law court order depends on the specific facts and circumstances of the case, as well as the terms of the order itself. It is important to work with an experienced Charlotte family law attorney who can help you understand the legal implications of any court orders and assist you in seeking modification or enforcement of those orders when necessary.
