Divorce
North Carolina has several legal concepts regarding divorce particular to the state that you should understand before deciding how to proceed. Whether the dissolution of your marriage will be accomplished by mediation, arbitration, a collaborative process or a court proceeding, our experienced divorce attorneys can guide you through the process, help you avoid common pitfalls and stand beside you every step of the way.
Child Custody
When parents separate, decisions about the care and support of the children are critical. Both parents have certain rights and obligations regarding their minor child. It is important to consider the child’s welfare first and to try to minimize the impact on the child. In a divorce, the parents may have joint custody of a child, or one parent may have sole legal custody. If the parents cannot reach an agreement on their own regarding child custody, a Family Law judge may make a determination of custody based on the best interests of the child.
Child Support
Parents have a legal duty to support their child. North Carolina child support guidelines are typically used to determine child support based on the parents’ incomes. Our attorneys can help you gather the financial documents the court requires. If your financial circumstances change, you may petition the court to revise the terms of the child support agreement.
Alimony/Spousal Support
When a couple goes separate ways, a spouse who has been dependent financially on the other during the marriage may ask for financial support, also known as alimony. The types of support include post-separation support, which is temporary until a final judgment, and alimony. It is critical to have a knowledgeable family law attorney review the implications of divorce on your financial future and negotiate a fair financial arrangement for you. Our attorneys will help you prepare an affidavit regarding your income and expenses.
Division of Assets
As part of a divorce, the court will divide the assets acquired during your marriage if you and spouse have not agreed upon a division of property. Our attorneys at Charles R. Ullman & Associates can help you understand the process of equitable distribution of assets and the factors the court will consider. There are specific steps regarding the division of marital property and several possible approaches. We will act to protect your financial rights.
Domestic Violence
Partner abuse or battering is the largest cause of injury to women between ages 15 and 44. If you have suffered domestic violence including bodily injury, fear of harm, rape or sexual assault, you should take steps to protect yourself. You may be afraid, understandably.
