Issues involving children are some of the most emotional of all of the legal issues associated with a divorce or legal separation.

We can give you a reasonable expectation of the process and explain how a custody or support agreement will impact you in the short term and the long term. If your divorce will involve custody, visitation or support, our lawyers can ensure that your final agreement is fair to both you and your children.
North Carolina Child Custody, Visitation and Child Custody
It is preferable when parents can arrive at an agreement regarding matters of child custody, visitation and child support. By cooperating on an agreement, parents will have more control over the terms of that agreement and can tailor solutions that are more appropriate for the situation. Mediation may also be an effective method for helping parents arrive at these solutions when they are unable to do so alone.
When the court must resolve these matters, child support is calculated based upon a formula that takes into account both parents' incomes, parental expenses and the needs of the child. Child custody and visitation rights are resolved by looking at parental stability, the relationship between each parent and the child, considerations of abuse, and other factors.
It is in your best interest, and the best interest of your child, to talk with an attorney about up-to-date knowledge regarding these factors.
