Alimony and Spousal Support

Alimony, also known as spousal support, is not awarded in every divorce. The decision to grant alimony is determined by examining several factors, including length of the marriage and earning capacity of each spouse. In North Carolina, the award of denial of alimony varies wildly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, it is important you work with someone who knows the courtroom.
Child Custody and Visitation
Report
If you have children, custody and visitation arrangements can be the most important decisions you and your spouse make during a divorce. Because of their importance, and due to the emotions involved, they also can cause a great deal of disagreement. In these circumstances, a skilled lawyer can provide much needed advice and counsel.
Child Support
Report
Child support is a monthly allowance that noncustodial parents pay to help cover the living expenses of their children. Although it is possible for parents to agree upon child support payments, often the help of a knowledgeable lawyer is needed to finalize the exact terms, help to resolve disputes or work to enforce court orders.
