Common Family Law Issues We Handle
You may be facing one urgent problem or several connected issues, making it difficult to know which to address first. We assist with divorce, separation agreements, child custody, child support, spousal support, and modifications to existing orders when circumstances change. Our Greensboro family attorney can also explain how property division may affect your home, retirement accounts, and other assets under North Carolina’s property division laws. By reviewing your full situation, we help you prioritize immediate concerns while planning for longer-term stability for you and your children.
A negotiated resolution or mediation may resolve a case before a contested hearing in Guilford County District Court becomes necessary. We help you gather documents, prepare for mediation or a hearing, and consider practical details such as transportation between households, extracurricular activities, and healthcare arrangements. If you own a business or real estate in the Greensboro area, we explain how those interests may be valued and divided and when financial or tax advisors should become involved. This guidance allows you to choose a process that fits your needs and comfort level.
North Carolina General Statute 50-20 governs equitable distribution. Courts identify marital and divisible property before distributing it equitably between spouses, with an equal division presumed unless the court determines that equal division wouldn’t be equitable. Marital property is valued as of the date of separation, while divisible property and divisible debt are valued as of the date of distribution.
A party asserting a property-division claim must serve an inventory affidavit within 90 days after service of the claim. The opposing party must serve an inventory affidavit within 30 days after receiving the first affidavit. Careful document preparation is especially important when the marital estate includes a business, multiple properties, retirement accounts, or disputed debts.
